The Nashville Sounds secured a commanding 8-1 victory over the Gwinnett Stripers at First Horizon Park, continuing their strong performance in the ongoing season. The win featured standout contributions from several players, notably Luis Urias, who drove in three runs during the game, and Ernesto Martinez Jr., who extended his hitting streak.

Nashville’s starting pitcher, Bruce Zimmermann, delivered a quality outing, allowing only one run over six innings while striking out three batters. His solid performance on the mound provided a strong foundation for the team’s offensive efforts.

The scoring kicked off in the first inning when Urias doubled to left field, bringing home teammates Brandon Lockridge and Tyler Black for a promising start. By the third inning, the Sounds were ahead 3-0 when Jared Oliva scored on a groundout by Urias.

Nashville added another run in the fourth inning, with Martinez Jr. hitting a single that permitted Oliver Dunn to score after he and Eric Haase walked to get on base. The fifth inning proved to be particularly fruitful for the Sounds, as they capitalized on a series of walks and errors to inflate their lead to 7-0. Oliva was hit by a pitch, and both Black and Urias earned walks, loading the bases. Raynel Delgado‘s walk brought in Oliva, Dunn’s groundout scored Black, and a sacrifice fly from Haase allowed Urias to cross the plate.

The Stripers managed to get on the board with a lone run from Matthew Batten, who hit a solo homer in the sixth inning. However, the Sounds responded with an insurance run in the eighth when Martinez Jr. reached base on an error and later scored from a double by Freddy Zamora, closing the game at 8-1.

In the ninth inning, Will Childers entered the game, pitching a shutout inning to secure Nashville’s third consecutive win. Martinez Jr.’s performance marked the extension of his hitting and on-base streak to eight games, solidifying his importance to the team’s success.

Fans can look forward to the next game, where Nashville will see right-hander Alexander Cornielle make his Triple-A debut. The first pitch is scheduled for 6:35 PM CT.
