From the Notes

Eli's Season High: Sounds CF/SS Eli White collected a season-high three hits in last night's loss. After White hit .375 and collected at least one hit in each of the first six games of the season, he hit .150 (3-for-31) over his next eight games prior to the breakout game last night.

Granite Basepaths: Despite Zack Granite's 8-game hitting streak coming to an end with an 0-for-3 game last night, he still drew two walks and has reached safely in seven straight games. He's 8-for-27 with a pair of walks during the seven-game stretch.

Davidson's Heating Up: First baseman Matt Davidson is heating up at the plate after a slow start to the season. In his first eight games of the season, Davidson hit .143 (4-for-28) with 13 strikeouts. In his last six games he's hitting .333 (7-for-21) with 6 runs, 1 double, 4 home runs and 9 RBI. He has hit safely in his last four games.

d'Arnaud is Dialed In: Fresh off of being reinstated from the 7-day injured list two days ago, infielder Chase d'Arnaud returned to the lineup last night and went 3-for-4 with a double. In three games this year, d'Arnaud is hitting .545 (6-for-11) with 3 runs, 1 double, 2 home runs and 3 RBI.

Avoid the Brooms: Nashville is looking for a win tonight to avoid the three-game series sweep. The last time the Sounds were swept was June 16-19 of 2018 in Albuquerque.
