Sounds Fall to Indians in Series Opener
June 29, 2022 - International League (IL)
Nashville Sounds News Release
NASHVILLE - The Indianapolis Indians scored five early runs and held on for series-opening 6-3 win over the Nashville Sounds in front of 7,927 fans at First Horizon Park on Tuesday night.
Tuesday night's attendance allowed the Sounds to surpass the 18,000,000 threshold in franchise history. The club leads Triple-A Baseball in per-game attendance in 2022.
Indianapolis scored five runs in the first three innings to spoil the party. Rodolfo Castro started the scoring in the first inning with an RBI single and Ben Gamel launched a two-run homer as part of a three-run second inning when the Indians grabbed a 4-0 lead.
Nashville battled back in the home half of the second when Mark Mathias was hit by a pitch and Jon Singleton followed with his 10th home run of the season, a two-run blast into The Band Box to trim the deficit to 4-2.
The Indians extended their lead to 5-2 in the third, but Nashville came back with a run in the fifth. David Dahl drew a walk and Mathias singled to put a pair of runners on base for Singleton who collected his second hit of the night, a run-scoring knock to make it a 5-3 game.
Nashville stayed in the game thanks to the stellar relief work of Tyler Herb. The right-hander entered at the start of the fourth inning and tossed five shutout frames. He scattered four hits and struck out seven.
Game two of the six-game series is scheduled for Wednesday night at First Horizon Park. Right-hander Caleb Boushley (8-2, 2.97) starts for Nashville. The first pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.
