The Sox stormed out to a 3-0 lead: one run in the second two in the third, all manufactured. Then Brayan Bello's wildness caught up with him, and he exited with a bases-loaded situation and the Sox up 3-1.
Despite a strong performance from Jhancarlos Lara, who pitched three scoreless innings and struck out four, the Gwinnett Stripers fell to the Memphis Redbirds 3-1. Offensively, the Stripers managed only one run, scored on a wild pitch by the Redbirds' Roddery Munoz.
