The Tides got a not-so-friendly visit from a familiar face in their loss to Memphis on Tuesday. Lefty Drew Rom—traded to the Cardinals’ organization as part of the Jack Flaherty trade—threw six shutout innings against his former teammates while picking up eight Ks. Rom only allowed three base runners all game: a leadoff walk to Connor Norby in the top of the 1st, a single by Joey Ortiz in the 4th and a walk to Maverick Handley in the 6th. At one point, Rom set down nine Norfolk hitters in a row—and only one of those hitters managed to get the ball out of the infield.
