On Thursday, the Saints played an afternoon game in Memphis. Darren McCaughan made the start. He went four innings and gave up four runs on five hits. He had five strikeouts and walked none. 

The Saints got on the scoreboard first. In the top of the third inning, Tanner Schobel led off with a double. He moved up to third base on a fly out. DaShawn Keirsey singled to drive in Schobel. 

Cory Lewis came in to start the fifth inning. He gave up three runs (1 earned) on three hits and two walks. He recorded just two outs. Lefty Aaron Rozek came in with the bases loaded and kept the game close by not allowing the inherited runners to score. Rozek went 2 1/3 innings and gave up one run on two hits. He walked two and had four strikeouts. Brooks Kriske pitched the eighth inning and gave up two runs on four hits and a walk. 

Down 8-1 going to the eighth inning, the Saints attempted a comeback. Christian Vazquez led off with a walk. Payton Eeles was hit by a pitch. Kyler Fedko followed with a three-run homer to cut the team’s deficit to 8-4, but that’s as close as the team got. Fedko now has 27 home runs to go with 36 stolen bases combined on the season. Can he reach 30-30, needing three home runs over the team’s final three games?
