San Antonio Missions (5-4) vs. Nashville Sounds (3-6)
Game #10/Home Game #5

Wolff Stadium
MiLB.tv/KONO 860 AM
RHP Burch Smith (0-0, 0.00) vs. RHP Phillips Valdez (0-0, 0.00)
Bomb Squad: Keston Hiura, Tyler Saladino, and Tyrone Taylor all went deep for the Missions last night. The three home runs were a season high for San Antonio. Tyler Saladino's inside-the-park home run was the first of its kind for the Missions since Josh Naylor did so exactly one year ago, on April 12 against Arkansas.
Ridin' Solo: All three runs in last night's 7-3 loss for San Antonio came via solo home runs. Of the 10 home runs the Missions have slugged in 2019, eight have been solo shots. Lucas Erceg and Tyrone Taylor have the only two-run blasts on the season.
Runs in Bunches: The Missions have had issues with giving up crooked numbers. Opponents have collected 10 multi-run innings against the Missions. Of the 40 runs Missions pitchers have allowed this season, 31 have come as a part of multi-run innings. Last night's seven-run outburst in the eighth inning was the most allowed in a single inning by Missions pitching this season and the most since they surrendered seven in the seventh inning on June 10, 2018 against Corpus Christi.
Error Oddity: Last night was the first time the Missions committed an error and lost a game. They had been 4-0 when committing at least one error in a game. Their three errors last night matched a season-high. They also committed three errors on April 9 in the home opener against Memphis.
