MEMPHIS, Tn --- The Norfolk Tides (2-4) fell to the Memphis Redbird (6-0), 6-2, on Thursday night at AutoZone Park. The Redbirds are now off to their best start in franchise history.
Both of the Tides' runs came in the sixth inning. Creed Willems hit a sac fly to break up the shutout, while Jhonkensy Noel ripped an RBI double later in the inning.
