Black Yankees Suffer 8-6 Road Loss
Thanks in large part to catcher Billy Bryan, the Memphis Red Sox beat the New York Black Yankees, 8-6. Bryan was 2 for 3 with 2 home runs and a walk. The win went to Andrew Miller in relief, making him now 6-7. Rheal Cormier took the loss for New York. The 4th-place Red Sox go to 58-70.

The game was at a stalemate until second baseman DJ LeMahieu came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing New York pitcher Hoyt Wilhelm, he hit a full count knuckleball for a 2-run single. It was a game-changer, putting Memphis on top, 8-6.

"We ground out the win," said LeMahieu. "That's all that matters."
