From the Notes

20 and Counting: Nick Martini extended his hitting streak to 20 games last night with a single in the first inning. He's hitting .388 (33-for-85) with 15 runs, 13 RBI, 6 doubles, 2 home runs and 9 walks during the streak that is the second-longest active streak in the Pacific Coast League. Martini's streak is tied the 4th-longest by a Sounds player in the PCL era. Eugenio Velez (2013) and Darryl Brinkley (1998) are tied for the second-longest streak by a Sounds player with 22-game hitting streaks. The longest by a Sounds player in the PCL era is Vinny Rottino's 24-game streak in 2008.

51 and Counting: Nick Martini extended his on-base streak to 51 games last night with a single in the first inning. He's hitting .348 (64-for-184) with 34 runs, 29 RBI, 11 doubles, 5 home runs and 37 walks during the streak that is the longest in Minor League Baseball. The 51-game streak is the longest by a Nashville Sounds player in the Pacific Coast League era. Since MLBAM began tracking on-base streaks in 2009, Martini's 51-game streak is tied for the 4th-longest in professional baseball. The longest on-base streak in professional baseball since 2009 belongs to Andrew Velazquez of Single-A South Bend when he reached in 74 straight games in 2014.

Neuse Making Noise: Third baseman Sheldon Neuse had his fifth consecutive multi-hit game last night. Over the five-game stretch, he's hitting .435 (10-for-23) with 3 RBI, 3 runs, 2 doubles and 1 triple. He began the day on June 14 with a .193 average and has boosted it to .217.

Avoiding The Brooms: A loss today would hand the Sounds their first four-game sweep of the season. The last time Nashville was swept in a four-game set was June 22-25 of 2017 in Oklahoma City. Earlier this year, the Sounds lost the first three in Colorado Springs before game four was suspended with Nashville leading, 14-6.

Three or Less is Usually a Win: For only the sixth time this season, the Sounds lost a game when holding their opponent to three or fewer runs. With last night's 3-2 setback, Nashville is now 20-6 when holding the other team to three or less.

Nick Martini wastes no time moving along his streaks for the @nashvillesounds. Infield single in the 1st. He's reached in 51 games in a row. He's hit safely in 20 games in a row. #Athletics

No warnings, but as @ABQTopes Raimel Tapia has been slow to circle bases on homers past couple days, @nashvillesounds starter Ben Bracewell has been ejected for throwing at Tapia, who is the 2nd batter of the game. (bottom 1st). Quickest Sweet Caroline/pitching change song ever.
