From the Notes
Against Bostick: Nashville faced Cy Sneed three times (one start) in 2019 - April 11 in Round Rock, April 17 in Nashville (start), and May 18 in Round Rock. He is 1-0 with a 2.61 ERA (10.1 IP/ 3 ER) with 3 walks to 10 strikeouts. Bostick has faced the following active Sounds - Bandy: 0-1, K; Cole: 1-1; d'Arnaud: 1-2, 2B; Davidson: 0-5, RBI, 2 K; DeShields: 0-1; Granite: 1-4, BB; Ibáñez: 0-3, K; Moore: 0-2, K; Tocci: 1-4, 2B, 2 K; White: 2-4, BB; Wisdom: 1-2, HR, RBI.
The Record Breaker: Tim Dillard set Nashville's all-time strikeut record in yesterday's day game that was resumed from April 18. He struck out Kyle Tucker for his 353rd punchout in his career. He also reached his 600th inning with the franchise, the first Nashville pitcher to do so. Without any walks yesterday, Dillard is still tied for the franchise record in bases on balls at 207. He did allow a home run to Yordan Alvarez, his 50th allowed as a Sound and is four homers short of tying the franchise record.
Homestand Summary: Through seven games in the 13-day homestand (not including the suspended game from April 18), the Sounds are hitting .257 (59-for-230) and are scoring 5.42 runs per game (38 R/7 G). Meanwhile, Nashivlle's pitching staff is 3-4 with a 6.14 ERA (63.0 IP/43 ER) with 28 walks to 62 strikouts. Hunter Cole (.458, 11-for-24) and Eli White (.308, 8-for-26) are the top-two hitters on the homestand thus far.
Wei-Chieh Dominance: With two more scoreless innings for Nashville, Wei-Chieh Huang has now tossed 9.0 shutout innings for Nashville. He is 1.2 innings short of tying the team's season-high scoreless innings streak (David Carpenter). Huang is 1-0 with 4 walks to 13 strikeouts with Nashville. He has limited hitters to a .111 batting average and owns a 0.78 WHIP.
The Speed of Sounds: Nashville stole 4 bases in yesterday's extra-inning game, setting their team-high for the season. Delino DeShields had two of those steals, being the second player to steal multiple bases in game (Zack Granite on May 26 against Round Rock). Scott Heineman stole his first bag on his rehab assignment and Eli White stole his fifth of the season. With Patrick Wisdom stealing second in the suspended contest, Nashville added five to their season total and rank 8th in the Pacific Coast League with 36.
Undefeated No More: When the April 18 suspended contest was completed yesterday, it was the first time Nashville lost when holding their opponent under four runs (Round Rock won 2-0) and are now 9-1 in the circumstance. The Sounds are also 17-14 when scoring four or more runs despite losing the second contest on Monday.
Sounds Starters: Taylor Guerrieri was the 10th different pitcher to start for the Sounds this season when he started yesterday's game. Wes Benjamin leads the Sounds in games started with 10. Seth Maness owns the most team wins when starting where Nashville is 4-1. Maness is also blessed with the highest run support among active Sounds starts, getting 7.00 runs per start.
