From the Notes

Phillips Valdez: 27-year-old Phillips Valdez starts for the Sounds tonight. The right-hander is making his 11th start of the season and 13th appearance overall. Valdez is 1-6 with a 5.68 ERA in his 12 games (10 starts) and has covered 50.2 innings. He last pitched on May 31 in a start against New Orleans at First Tennessee Park. He got a no-decision after allowing 5 earned runs on 8 hits and 1 walk. He threw a season-high 103 pitches and struck out a season-high 9. Valdez split the 2018 season between Double-A Harrisburg and Triple-A Syracuse and went 6-7 with a 2.73 ERA in 31 games (19 starts). He signed a minor league contract with the Texas Rangers on December 21, 2018. He was originally signed by the Cleveland Indians on May 29, 2009.

Searching for Win #1 in June: Despite hitting .292 in the month of June, Nashville is searching for win number one in June. The Sounds' .292 (40-for-137) clip is the 6th-highest in the Pacific Coast League. Nashville went 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position last night and is 16th in the league with a season average of .225 with RISP. The next closest is Oklahoma City with a .262 average with RISP.

Another 5-Game for Ibáñez: Sounds infielder Andy Ibáñez has hit safely in five consecutive games. It's the fourth time in 2019 that Ibáñez has put together a hitting streak of at least five games. Since the streak started on May 29, he's hitting .400 (9-for-20) with 6 runs scored, 2 doubles, 1 home run, 5 RBI, 4 walks and 1 stolen base.

Avoiding the Sweep: Nashville needs a win tonight to avoid being swept for the second time this season. When the Sounds resumed a suspended game against Round Rock on May 27, the 2-0 loss was back dated to the original date of April 18, hence putting together a three-game sweep by the Express. Prior to that sweep, the Sounds hadn't been swept in a three-game set since August 28-30, 2017 vs. Omaha.
