Gwinnett Stripers News Release


NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Gwinnett Stripers (29-35) fell behind on the very first pitch of the bottom of the first inning and never recovered in an 11-3 loss to the Nashville Sounds (32-31) on Tuesday night at First Horizon Park.

Decisive Plays: Rehabbing Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jesse Winker homered (3) on the first pitch from Nick Margevicius (L, 1-2) in the first and Nashville never trailed after. Former Striper Alex Jackson added RBI singles in the first and second, and a solo home run (9) in the fifth as the Sounds built an 11-3 lead. Mike Brosseau, Brice Turang, Tyler Naquin, Cam Devanney, and Roman Quinn also added RBIs in the rout.

Key Contributors: Vaughn Grissom went 1-for-3 with an RBI triple and Braden Shewmake went 1-for-4 with an RBI double for the Stripers, but it wasn't enough as Nashville lefty Robert Gasser (W, 5-1) spun 6.0 five-hit, three-run innings. Winker, Jackson, and Naquin each had three hits apiece for the Sounds.

Noteworthy: Daniel Robertson extended his on-base streak to 15 games with a second-inning single. Grissom has hit safely in 33 of 41 games during his Triple-A debut. Gwinnett is now 7-5 in series openers, including 3-4 in road openers.
