Nashville Sounds News Release
OKLAHOMA CITY - The Nashville Sounds fell to the Oklahoma City RedHawks, 11-1, on Sunday evening at AT&T Bricktown Ballpark.
The first-place Sounds (55-46) have dropped four of their last five games on their road trip.
Oklahoma City sent 10 batters to the plate in the bottom of the third inning to grab a 6-0 lead against Sounds starter Chris Cody. Jose Vallejo highlighted the frame's scoring with a two-out, bases-loaded triple.
Cody (4-6), starting on three days' rest for the Sounds, took the loss after allowing six runs on eight hits in only three innings of work.
Nick Green took over on the hill for Nashville in the fourth and gave up a pair of runs in his first frame of action, allowing RBI singles by Esteban German and Chris Davis.
The Sounds plated their lone run in the top of the fifth when Jason Bourgeois drove in Erick Almonte with an RBI single, but Oklahoma City answered with a three-spot in the bottom of the frame to increase its lead to 11-1. Shortstop Joaquin Arias (3-for-4, three RBIs) blasted a two-run homer off Green in the frame, his fourth roundtripper of the year.
RedHawks starter Elizardo Ramirez (7-7) recorded the victory with a quality start, holding the Sounds to one run on seven hits over seven innings of work.
Reliever Jesus Colome made his Brewers organization debut for the Sounds and worked two scoreless innings to close out the contest.
The teams wrap up the four-game series as well as their 16-game regular-season series with a 4:05 p.m. finale on Monday afternoon. Left-hander Sam Narron (1-2, 5.54) will man the bump for Nashville to face Oklahoma right-hander Kris Benson (1-1, 6.19). Both hurlers square off against the clubs with whom they made their Class AAA debuts earlier in their respective careers.
