TODAY'S OPPONENT: The Nashville Sounds are the Triple-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers. They have been a member of the PCL since 1998. Last year, Nashville finished tied for first in American North Division with a 76-68 record. They won the division title by a tie-breaker over Iowa.

VS. NASHVILLE: The RedHawks are 5-10 against the Sounds this season. Oklahoma is 3-3 at Nashville this year.

TODAY'S GAMES: These will be games 133 and 134 of the season and the fourth and fifth of a 6-game series between Oklahoma and Nashville. These will be the 16th and 17th of 18 meetings between the RedHawks and Sounds this season. LAST GAME: The RedHawks took a 2-1 series lead, winning 3-2 last night. The Hawks overcame an early 2-0 deficit for the win. Trailing 2-0 in the fifth, Chris Stewart drove home the first RedHawk run of the night to make the score 2-1. The Hawks grabbed the lead in the seventh with two runs on two hits, including a Freddy Guzman triple, to give Derek Lee his first win of the season. Lee pitched seven strong innings, allowing two runs on eight hits. Franklyn German struck out the side in the ninth for his sixth save of the season. PITCHING MATCHUP: Armando Galarraga is due to start Game 1. Galarraga was held out of his scheduled start on Thursday because of a possible need at the major league level that did not materialize. It will be Galarraga's third Triple-A start, first against the Sounds and second in his current stint with Oklahoma. Chris Baker gets the ball in Game 2 for the RedHawks. He won his last start Monday at New Orleans, allowing two runs on six hits in 5.1 innings. Baker has allowed one home run in one inning of relief against the Sounds this season. Adam Pettyjohn will start for the Sounds in Game 1. Pettyjohn beat the RedHawks July 7 at The Brick, allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits in five innings. Steve Bray will start in Game 2.
