Memphis becomes first team in professional baseball to 10 wins
The Memphis Redbirds became the first professional baseball team to 10 wins in the 2026 season with a 4-1 win in Game 3 of a six-game series at the Charlotte Knights (Triple-A, Chicago White Sox) on Thursday night at Truist Field.
Starting pitcher Richard Fitts (2-0) continued his dominant start to the season with 5.0 innings of one-run work. The right-handed pitcher allowed four hits, walked two and struck out three in his third start with Memphis. Max Rajcic followed the effort with 2.2 scoreless innings out of the bullpen. Luis Gastelum (S, 1) tossed a scoreless ninth to nail down his first career Triple-A save.
Center fielder Bryan Torres set the offensive tone from the leadoff spot. The left-handed hitter went 2-for-3 with two RBIs and a walk in the win. Torres, who led the International League in on-base percentage last season, leads the Redbirds with eight walks in 2026.
