White is hitting .370 in 8 games with 6 runs, 4 doubles, a triple, and a home run while Granite is hitting .344 in nine games with 7 runs and two doubles. Nashville's pitching staff has struggled, allowing a 7.20 ERA and a .301 batting average.
Walk the Line: Four Nashville Sounds' hitters recorded two walks Saturday night: Willie Calhoun, Matt Davidson, Andy Ibáñez and Patrick Wisdom. The Sounds had 9 total walks, one shy of there season-high from when they walked 10 times at Iowa on April 26. Memphis has walked the third-most batters in the Pacific Coast league at 158 bases on balls.
