The Friendly Confines: Tonight's starter, Daniel Mengden, has found success at First Tennessee Park. In three home games (two starts), Mengden is 3-0 with a 2.08 ERA (17.1 IP/4 ER) with 15 strikeouts and only two walks. On the road, he's 1-1 with a 5.50 ERA (18.0 IP/11 ER) with 11 strikeouts and four walks.

That @nashvillesounds loss was on me @MickeyRyan1045. I may as well have just walked on the chalk line after our radio interview on @3HL1045. Broke all the rules of baseball superstition.
