From the Notes
No RISP: After going 6-for-12 with runners in scoring position in the first game of the season, Nashville has struggled in the department over the last two games, going just 2-for-15.
Swipe Left: Nashville's speedsters stole three bases yesterday to bring the team's total to four - tied for the most in the Pacific Coast League. Jorge Mateo, Dustin Fowler and BJ Boyd all swiped second base last night in the 2-1 loss. The trio combined to steal 81 bases in 2017.
Bullish 'Pen: Nashville's bullpen had a dominant showing last night as Lou Trivino, Jake Sanchez and Bobby Wahl combined to retire all 12 batters they faced. Through the first three games of the season, the 'pen has a 0.59 ERA (15.1 IP/1 ER). The relievers have allowed six hits and six walks while recording 13 strikeouts.
