The Shuckers plated seven runs in the first inning off of Ian Clarkin, but Birmingham’s bats hadn’t even gotten started. They erased the deficit by the fourth inning, with a six-spot in a 7-4 game and never looked back. 3B Matt Rose hit his second career grand slam, one of his two homers on the day, and drove in six runs. C Seby Zavala drove in three while RF Eloy Jimenez and DH Zack Collins both added a pair of hits. Overall, a great day at the plate for the Barons, who had three times as many hits (18) as strikeouts (six). After giving up seven earned runs in the first, Clarkin shut down the Shuckers over the next four innings. Monday’s comeback win marks the biggest in Regions Field history.
