Sounds Routed by Durham

The Nashville Sounds’ three-game winning streak ended abruptly on Wednesday night at Durham Bulls Athletic Park, falling 17-4 to the Durham Bulls.

Both teams were knotted up at 2-2 through five innings. In the sixth inning, Durham cashed in on three straight walks to score six runs in the inning. The Bulls added eight more runs in the seventh on their way to a 13-run win.

Mario Feliciano had quite a night at the dish, finishing with three of Nashville’s four RBI. He doubled home Pablo Reyes to put Nashville ahead 1-0 in the second inning, then tied the game at 2-2 in the fourth inning with an RBI single. In the eighth inning, Feliciano hit is second double of the game, scoring David Dahl.

Sounds starter Tyler Herb put together a solid outing in a no decision. He struck out eight Bulls over 5.0 innings, yielding a couple of runs (both earned) on three hits and two walks.

Lefty Nick Bennett (L, 0-1) had a rough Triple-A debut, allowing six earned runs in 0.2 innings. Though giving up just a couple of hits, he granted four free passes.

Backup catcher turned relief pitcher Nick Kahle ate up the eighth inning in relief for the Sounds. Clocking in pitches just shy of 50 miles an hour, he gave up just one run on a homer.

Josh Lindblom (1-2, 2.89) starts for Nashville in tomorrow’s matchup against Durham’s Easton McGee (2-3, 5.79). First pitch is scheduled for 5:35 p.m. central at Durham Bulls Athletic Park.
