Nashville Sounds News Release
NASHVILLE - The Nashville Sounds dropped a shocking loss to the Gwinnett Stripers in front of 7,845 fans at First Horizon Park. With Nashville leading 3-0 through seven, the Stripers rallied in the eighth to take a 5-3 win and series split on Sunday night.
Marcus Walden had a strong 5.0 innings of work in the start. The former Boston Red Sox reliever set a new season-high in strikeouts with eight on the night. He yielded three hits and three walks in the no decision.
Brice Turang put the Sounds up 1-0 in the third, coming through with a two out single that plated Weston Wilson. In the fifth, the Sounds added on after back-to-back doubles by Joey Wiemer and Matt Lipka. Wilson struck an RBI sac fly to score Lipka and put Nashville's advantage at 3-0.
The Sounds were cruising until the eighth inning. Gwinnett hitters strung together six-straight singles and scored five times in the inning, going from a three-run deficit to two-run lead in the process. Hobie Harris pitched a scoreless ninth to give the Sounds a chance in the final inning, but the Sounds were unable to rally.
Nashville travels to the Sunshine State for a six-game series against the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp. Right-hander Adrian Houser (0-0, 0.00) will make his third rehab start for the Sounds, going against Jacksonville's Josh Rogers (0-4, 10.80). First pitch is at 6:05 p.m. central from 121 Financial Ballpark on Tuesday.
