Turang's Homer Powers Sounds Past Stripers

Nashville Sounds News Release


NASHVILLE - Brice Turang hit his first homer with the Nashville Sounds (33-31) this season as his three-run blast helped pave the way for a 6-3 win over the Gwinnett Stripers (29-36) on Wednesday night at First Horizon Park.

Entering the bottom of the fifth up 1-0, Turang launched a majestic shot off the batter's eye in center field for a three spot in the scoring column. It was his first homer with Nashville in his fourth game with the club this season.

Thomas Pannone (2-1) set the table for the Sounds bullpen with a strong start. The left-hander held Gwinnett to just two hits and a walk over 5.0 scoreless innings for his second win of the season. He also struck out three on 72 pitches and 45 strikes.

Nashville took an early lead in the third with Turang's bases-loaded walk. The Sounds would add some insurance in the seventh thanks to a Mike Brosseau RBI single and Eddy Alvarez's sacrifice fly.

The bullpen did their part to hang on for the win, with five different Sounds relievers getting work in the contest. Matt Bush got a couple of outs in his rehab stint, giving up an unearned run in the sixth. J.B. Bukauskas, Pedro Fernandez and Ethan Small would combine for 2.1 scoreless innings. Thyago Vieira gave up a two-run homer but settled down to close things out in the ninth.

Brosseau was the lone Sound to have a multi-hit contest. Sal Frelick reached three times in his return to the Sounds lineup with a single and two walks. Jesse Winker also reached three times with two walks and a hit.

Caleb Boushley (3-3, 4.88) will greet Gwinnett as the Sounds starter for 615 Night at First Horizon Park. Gwinnett will start Dereck Rodriguez (2-1, 3.86) in game three of the series tomorrow night at 6:35 p.m. central time.
