"The biggest thing, I pitched well for the team," said Palmer, who attacked the hitters with a cut fastball and curve. "I was not throwing well...I returned to my old self."
Palmer fanned the side in the first inning. Memphis (19-26) also committed three errors that allowed three unearned runs. Three Bees pitchers combined for the team’s second shutout of 2011.
Jeremy Moore, who finished a double shy of the cycle, capped a six-run fifth inning for Salt Lake (22-25) with a two-run homer to right field.
Salt Lake manager Keith Johnson described Palmer’s effort as, "Just going out there and taking control of what’s going on, good or bad."
