NASHVILLE - The Nashville Sounds lost to the Oklahoma City RedHawks 5-1 on Tuesday in the final game of a four-game series at Historic Greer Stadium.

On a Major League rehab assignment, RedHawks starter Dustin Nippert (1-0) earned the win, surrendering one run on two hits with six strikeouts in five innings of work.

The Sounds were limited to three hits on the evening, with Jason Bourgeois going 2-for-4 with a double and recording his 13th multi-hit contest in his last 20 games.

Sounds outfielder Cole Gillespie hit his sixth home run of the season that gave Nashville a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the third inning. Gillespie's long shot was his second in three games and sixth hit at Historic Greer Stadium.

After Greg Golson singled, Esteban German put the RedHawks ahead at 2-1 with a two-run shot to left field in the next frame.

Oklahoma increased their lead to 3-1 in the top of the fifth on a Kevin Richardson solo homer, and extended it to 4-1 on a sacrifice fly by German that scored Joaquin Arias.

The RedHawks managed to load the bases on Sounds starter Chris Cody later in the inning, and brought home another run for a 5-1 lead on a Brandon Boggs groundout.

Cody (2-3) took the loss, allowing five runs on six hits over five innings. Matt Ginter and David Johnson added a combined four scoreless innings in relief.

The first place Sounds travel to Round Rock tomorrow for the opener of a three-game series at 7:05 pm CT at the Dell Diamond against the Express. Southpaw Lindsay Gulin (3-4, 5.09) takes the mound for Nashville against right-hander Bud Norris (3-5, 2.17).
