Day Games: In comparison to the rest of the league, Nashville is 14th in day game win pecentage at 7-14 (.333). They are ahead Las Vegas (5-13, .278) and Reno (6-18, .250). The Sounds also rank 13th in ERA (6.60) and last in batting average (.248) and OPS (.746). Among hitters with at least 2.7 plate appearnaces per game (57 PA), Eli White leads the way for Nashville hitters in day games with a .324 average (22-for-68), 12 runs scored, 6 doubles, 1 triple, 3 home runs, 6 RBI and 5 walks in 18 games.

The Last Hoorah: Today will be the last matchup between Nashville and New Orleans before the Baby Cake relocate to Wichita, Kansas. The Sounds have won the all-time series against the Baby Cakes, sitting at 184-159 since 1998. Nashville will also finish with a winning record at New Orleans, where they are 85-82.

Giving it Extra: With yesterday's 4-2 in 10 innings over New Orleans, the Sounds are now 2-3 in extra-innings games on the season. The last extra-innings game was on May 29 versus Round Rock, where Nashville lost 13-12 in 13 innings. That is a 52-game gap, where the four other extra-inning games were in the first 53 games.

Closing Time: David Carpenter recorded his 18th save last night at New Orleans. He has yet to blow a save this season. He leads the PCL and all of Triple-A baseball, with New Orleans' RJ Alvarez in 2nd at 13. Carpenter ranks tied-for-fourth in all of minor league baseball in saves. His 18th save ranks tied-for-ninth in franchise history for a single season (Milt Hill, 1992; Luther Hackman, 2007). He can also crack the top 10 in franchise career leaders if he reaches 23 saves. If Carpenter ends as the league leader in saves, he would be the 4th to do so in Sounds history: Chris Smith, 2010 (26); Mark Corey, 2003 (30); Jon Pacella, 1986 (17).
