Post-Game Notes
-With Monday's 3-2 loss, the Sounds dropped to 32-36 on the season.
-Nick Martini extended his consecutive on-base streak to 51 games when he singled in the first inning. Martini's streak is the longest by a Nashville player in the Pacific Coast League era and is the longest active streak in Minor League Baseball. Since April 14, Martini has reached safely in every game he has played in. The single extended his hitting streak to a career-high 20 games. The 51-game on-base streak is the longest in the Pacific Coast League since at least 2009 when MLBAM began tracking the statistic. The hitting streak is the fourth-longest streak for the Sounds in the PCL era.

-Anthony Garcia's sixth inning single extended his hitting streak to a season-high 10 games.
