Nashville Sounds News Release


NASHVILLE - The offense for the Nashville Sounds remained in a funk in a 6-1 loss to the Indianapolis Indians at First Horizon Park Tuesday night. It is the fourth consecutive loss following the 15-game winning streak from May 18 to June 3.

Indianapolis extended their lead to 3-0 with a pair of runs in the top of the sixth. Alford and T.J. Rivera had run-scoring base hits.

Nashville got on the board in the sixth with a two-out rally. Zach Green drew a walk, Hernan Perez singled and Jamie Westbrook knocked in a run to make it 3-1 with a base hit to right field.

The Indians tacked on two runs in the seventh and one in the eighth to build a 6-1 lead.
