Nashville, TN – The Nashville Sounds suffered a disappointing 4-1 defeat against the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp on Friday, marking their fifth consecutive loss. This match, held at First Horizon Park, represents a season-high for the Sounds.
The Sounds had an encouraging start with Robert Gasser on the mound, who made his first appearance since undergoing Tommie John surgery last June. Gasser pitched for three innings without allowing a run, demonstrating his strength by striking out four batters. However, the promising start for Nashville did not translate into a win.
Raynel Delgado was a key player for the Sounds, enjoying a successful night with a multi-hit game, going 2-for-3 at the plate which included a double. Nashville managed to take an early lead in the bottom of the third inning. Following a fielding error, Ethan Murray reached base, stole second, and advanced to third on a throwing mistake. Drew Avans then doubled to left-center, which allowed Murray to cross the plate, putting the Sounds ahead 1-0.
The tide turned in the sixth inning when the Jumbo Shrimp tied the game. Joey Wiemer hit a single that brought Deyvison De Los Santos home, leveling the score at 1-1. The Jumbo Shrimp took command in the eighth inning. With the bases loaded, Wiemer again made a significant impact, hitting a double that scored Jacob Berry and Joe Mack, pushing Jacksonville to a lead of 3-1. A sacrifice fly from Johnny Olmstead added another run, finalizing the score at 4-1.
Nashville struggled to respond in the remaining innings, as relievers Easton McGee and Josh Maciejewski allowed the runs that sealed the Sounds’ fate. The team was unable to catch up to Jacksonville as the game neared its conclusion.
Looking ahead, the Sounds are set to face the Jumbo Shrimp again, with Bruce Zimmermann scheduled to start. Zimmermann currently holds a record of 6-6 with an earned run average (ERA) of 4.29. The next game is slated for a first pitch at 6:35 PM CT at First Horizon Park.
With this recent string of losses, the Nashville Sounds will need to regroup and find ways to turn their fortunes around as the season progresses.
