Final: Memphis 3, Colorado Springs 2 SKY SOX DROP SERIES FINALE IN MEMPHIS 3-2 MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Sky Sox road struggles continued into the final game of their Nashville trip, falling for a fourth straight game to the Redbirds Tuesday afternoon by a score of 3-2. The finale loss capped off a seven-loss road trip in nine games for Colorado Springs. The Sky Sox drop to a 27-23 overall record in the American North Division. Memphis got the day going in the bottom of the first inning to take a 1-0 lead. Following Oscar Mercado's leadoff walk and one-out stolen base to get into scoring position, Patrick Wisdom delivered a single to centerfield to give the Redbirds to early lead. In the fourth, Colorado Springs got back into the game when first-baseman Ji-Man Choi struck a one-out double to right field. After Christian Bethancourt's single put runners on the corners with one out, outfielder Brett Phillips came through with a sacrifice fly ball to right field, marking his ninth RBI of 2018, to tie the game at 1-1. With the momentum, the Sky Sox went ahead with a solo run in the sixth inning sparked by back-to-back singles to start the inning by Orlando Arcia and Choi. The run was brought in on a fielding error on Wisdom at third base batted by Bethancourt to plate Arcia, putting Colorado Springs up 2-1. However, in the bottom half of the frame, Memphis found another offensive rhythm. With one out, Wisdom, Luke Voit, and Wilfredo Tovar collected consecutive singles to tie the game at 2-2. After a fielder's choice groundout kept runners on the corners with two outs, a wild pitch would send home the go-ahead and final run of the contest for the Redbirds, making it a 3-2 contest. The Sky Sox stranded three runners throughout the final three innings, finishing 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position. Sky Sox starter Alec Asher finished after five and one-third innings of six-hit, three-run ball with two walks and two strikeouts. Relievers Mike Zagurski, Jon Perrin and Michael Brady combined for the final two and two-thirds innings while combining to allow just one hit. The Sky Sox head back home for a five-game homestand starting tomorrow, May 30 against the Iowa Cubs. *** Tomorrow's Preview: In the first game of the five-game set against the Iowa Cubs at Security Service Field, the Sky Sox are sending right-hander Freddy Peralta to the mound to face fellow righty Jen-Ho Tseng. In Peralta's last outing on May 24 at First Tennessee Park against the Sounds, he notched his sixth win while allowing no runs and just three hits through five frames with eight strikeouts. Oppositely, Tseng notched his second win of 2018 in his last outing against New Orleans on May 25. Road Troubles: The Sky Sox dropped their fifth series of the season after their loss to Memphis Monday afternoon. With the fourth consecutive loss on Tuesday, the Sky Sox finished their road trip going 2-7 over nine games in Nashville and Memphis. The team now totals six series wins, five series losses, and two series ties. Halted at Four, Again: The Sky Sox were held to four hits three times throughout the five-game series with Memphis on Saturday night, Monday afternoon, and Tuesday afternoon at AutoZone Park. Before the series, the last time Colorado Springs was held to four hits was by Oklahoma City at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark on May 5. The first time the Sky Sox marked the four-hit low came on April 7 at Omaha in game one of the doubleheader. Run Differential: Over the Sky Sox last 12 games, opponents have outscored the Colorado Springs squad 55-26. Over the 12`-game stretch, the Sky Sox have averaged 2.16 runs per game. Road Trip Scoring: Over the nine-game stretch on the Tennessee road trip, the Sky Sox plated nine of 67 runners in scoring position. The Colorado Springs squad has collected a total of 57 hits with four home runs and eight doubles. Taking On Iowa: The Sky Sox will be taking on the Iowa Cubs, Triple-A affiliate of the Chicago Cubs, for the first time this season starting Wednesday with the homestand ending Sunday, June 3. Colorado Springs is 96-113 overall against Iowa (40-63 against on the road, 56-50 against at home). This Week's Preview: The Sky Sox head into a five-game homestand beginning tomorrow, May 30 against the Iowa Cubs. After the five games at home, they will hit the road again for sevens game to take on Pacific Conference teams, the Fresno Grizzlies and Sacramento River Cats. *** Box Score / Game Log Nate Orf now 3-for-32 with six walks, five K's over his last ten games. But then again, it's been a team wide collapse as of late. The bottom five spots in the order combined for 0-for-17 with one walk. *** Your Game Four Orlando Arcia log -- (they plugged in a 2016 photo for his MiLB Player Page) Popped out to first, grounded out to 2nd, singled on a line drive to center, grounded into a fielder's choice force out at 3rd

Diaz either tweaked something, or it's a classic case of the manager not being happy with the reaction to the at-bat. Either way, they were probably hoping to give Payton Henry a full day off.

Brewers announced the release of Biloxi RHP Angel Ventura. Ventura is just 25 years old despite 2018 being his 8th pro season with Milwaukee. His first three seasons were in the rookie Dominican Summer League, and he re-signed with the Crew as a minor league free agent this past offseason. It's been a struggle this season, as the linked stat page above shows. Good luck to Angel in the future, time still on his side.
