Error Free is the way to Be: Nashville's defense has gone 33 innings since its last error. Nashville has been sound defensively since Franklin Barreto's first inning error on May 2 in Colorado Springs. Entering the April 30 game at Colorado Springs, the Sounds' .967 fielding percentage was last in the Pacific Coast League. With just one error over the last six games, the fielding percentage has gone up to .973 - 14th-best in the league.

Keep it Close: In games decided by two or less runs, the Sounds have a PCL-best record of 9-2. In games decided by three or more runs, they're 5-12.

Beau Knows on Base: Catcher Beau Taylor has reached base safely in 14 consecutive games. Since April 13, Taylor has reached in every game played and is hitting .341 (15-for-44) with 8 runs, 7 RBI, 3 doubles, 1 triple and 12 walks. It's tied for the 12th-longest active streak in the league.
