From the Notes

Ronald Herrera: 24-year-old Ronald Herrera starts for the Sounds tonight. The right-hander is making his 5th start and 7th appearance overall. In 6 games (4 starts), Herrera is 0-3 with a 14.73 ERA. He has logged 11.0 innings and has allowed 20 hits and 5 walks to go along with 12 strikeouts. He last pitched on May 20 in a start against the Express and allowed 5 runs on 7 hits (3 home runs) in 3.1 innings. Herrera missed the entired 2018 season after he had surgery to repair a torn flexor tendon on June 11. Herrera spent most of 2017 in the minor leagues, where he combined for an 8-1 record with a 1.91 ERA between the GCL Yankees East, Double-A Trenton and Triple-A Scranton-Wilkes Barre. He served two stints with the New York Yankees and made two appearances. Herrera was traded to Texas from New York-AL in exchange for Reiver Sanmartin on November 20, 2017. He was originally signed by the Oakland Athletics on May 31, 2012.

Against Pérez: Nashville faced Cionel Pérez on May 19 in Round Rock. He has faced the following active Sounds - Cole: 1-2, RBI; Davidson: 1-3, R, 2B, 2 K; Fontana: 1-1; Granite: 0-3, R, 2 K; Moore: 0-2, 2 K; Tocci: 1-1, R, RBI; White: 0-3; Wisdom: 1-1, R, 2 BB.

A Handful of RBI for Moore: Catcher Adam Moore drove in 5 runs last night, just 1 shy of his career-high. It's the most runs a Sound has knocked in since BJ Boyd had 6 RBI on August 9, 2018 at Colorado Springs.

Comeback Kids: Nashville scored yet another come-from-behind win last night, overcoming a season-high 6-run deficit to beat the Redbirds. The Sounds have trailed at some point in each of their last 4 wins. The last time they led from start to finish was in a 6-3 win at Round Rock on May 18.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKK: Nashville pitcher recorded 14 strikeouts last night, matching their season-high previously set on Opening Day against Iowa. Starter Wes Benjamin recorded 6 punchouts in 5.1 innings, and the bullpen quartet of Taylor Guerrieri, Wei-Chieh Huang, Kyle Bird and Brett Martin combined for 8 strikeouts in 3.2 innings.
