From the Notes
14 Punches: Led by Taylor Hearn's nine strikeouts, Nashville pitchers tallied 14 strikeouts in yesterday's game. It was tied for the most in the league as Las Vegas and Oklahoma City hurlers also struck out 14.
Walk This Way: Nashville batters drew 6 walks last night, the third-most in the league on the first day of the season. Only Memphis (9) and Tacoma (7) drew more.
Opening Day History: The Sounds are now 19-23 all-time on Opening Day with yesterday's loss. In season openers at home, the Sounds are 25-17.
Triple-A Debuts: Nashville had five players make their Triple-A debuts last night, including Taylor Hearn, Eli White, Jose Trevino, Brett Martin and Miguel Del Pozo. Despite pitching half the season in Texas last year, tonight's starting pitcher Ariel Jurado is making his Triple-A debut tonight.
Vs. Underwood Jr: Several Sounds faced Duane Underwood Jr. last year. Willie Calhoun went 4-for-8 against him, Carlos Tocci was 1-for-3 and Patrick Wisdom was 1-for-4.

Taylor Hearn was great on AAA Nashville's opening night until he was victimized by bad luck. But he wasn't the only Rangers pitching prospect to impress tonight. @ThreeTwoEephus tells you about an outstanding day on the Texas farm squads.
