From the Notes

Against Salt Lake: The Sounds and Bees have played at least four games against each other since the 1998 season. In 95 total games, Salt Lake leads the all-time series, 48-47. The last time Nashville was in Salt Lake, however, resulted in a four-game sweep for the Sounds. Nashville outscored Salt Lake 30-15 in the four games.

11 Straight for Neuse: Third baseman Sheldon Neuse moved his hitting streak to 11 games with two more hits last night. In those 11 games, he's batting .390 (16-for-41) with 8 RBI, 6 runs, 2 doubles, 1 home run and 6 walks. His batting average has risen from .230 to .248 during the streak. The 11-game hitting streak matched his career-high in 2017 when Neuse hit in 11 straight games from July 25-August 5 with Advanced-A Stockton.

Mateo Looking for Seven: Shortstop Jorge Mateo extended his hitting streak to six games with three hits in last night's loss. Mateo is hitting .478 (11-for-23) with 5 runs, 4 RBI, 2 doubles, 2 triples and 1 walk during the streak. It's Mateo's fourth six-game hitting streak of the season. He also hit safely in six straight games from May 21-27, June 11-17 and June 22-27.

That's Offensive: The Sounds head into Salt Lake against arguably the best offense in the Pacific Coast League. The Bees lead the league in batting average (.292), home runs (136) and runs scored (627). Nashville pitchers have issued the fewest walks in the league (267), have the fourth-lowest ERA (4.05) and have allowed the fourth-fewest home runs (80).

Alcantara's 500: Tonight's starter, Raul Alcantara, is two strikeouts shy of 500 in his career. Alcantara has 472 strikeouts in 168 minor league games and 26 strikeouts in 13 games in the big leagues. 88 of the 25-year-old's strikeouts have come with Nashville.
