From the Notes
65 and Counting: Nick Martini extended his on-base streak to 65 games with a single in the first inning of last night's game. He's hitting .331 (79-for-239) with 40 runs, 37 RBI, 12 doubles, 2 triples, 6 home runs and 43 walks during the streak that is the longest in professional baseball. The 65-game streak is the longest by a Nashville Sounds player in the Pacific Coast League era. Since MLBAM began tracking on-base streaks in 2009, Martini's 65-game streak is the second-longest in professional baseball. The longest on-base streak in professional baseball since 2009 belongs to Andrew Velazquez of Single-A South Bend when he reached in 74 straight games in 2014.
Run at Your Own Risk: Ramón Laureano notched his team-leading ninth outfield assist of the season last night when he threw out Bijan Rademacher trying to stretch a single into a double. Laureano's nine outfield assists have come in only 41 games. Only Tyrone Taylor of Colorado Springs (13) and Adolis Garcia of Memphis (11) have more. Taylor has played in 68 games and Garcia has played in 66.
They Tried to Make Me go to Rehab: Daniel Mengden's start tonight will be the third ML rehab start for the Sounds this year. Brett Anderson made the other two and combined to throw 9 1/3 innings against Oklahoma City (June 28) and Omaha (July 3). Anderson is 1-0 with a 5.97 ERA (9.1 IP/6 ER) with two walks and 10 strikeouts. Other players to appear on rehab assignments this year include Renato Nuñez, Ryan Dull, Josh Phegley, Liam Hendriks, Boog Powell, Ryan Buchter and Matt Joyce.
