MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- Jonathan Rodriguez hit a grand slam in the ninth inning, leading the Chattanooga Lookouts to a 6-5 win over the Montgomery Biscuits on Tuesday.

The Lookouts were trailing, 5-1, entering the ninth inning and exploded for five runs.

The grand slam by Rodriguez capped a five-run inning and gave the Lookouts a 6-5 lead after Engelb Vielma got hit by a pitch with the bases loaded earlier in the inning.

Nick Burdi (2-0) got the win with 1 1/3 innings of scoreless relief while Yoel Espinal (0-1) took the loss in the Southern League game.

John Curtiss retired the side in order for his fifth save of the season.
