Memphis 18, New Orleans 2

-
Rob Johnson was 2-for-4 with a home run and a walk.
-
Vance Albitz was 3-for-5.
-
Oscar Taveras also made his debut in one of the less likely of ways. Put in to pinch hit in the 8th, Taveras actually got to bat twice since while Memphis went all the way through the lineup in that inning. He was 1-for-2.
