Sounds' Win Streak Ends in Shut Out Loss to Jacksonville

Jacksonville, Fla. – After taking each of the first four games of the series, the Nashville Sounds (22-22) were silenced by the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (18-26) on Saturday night. Nashville failed to get a run across in a blowout 10-0 loss to Jacksonville at 121 Financial Ballpark.

The Jumbo Shrimp took an early lead off Sounds starter Aaron Ashby (0-3). The southpaw gave up singles to rehabbing Marlins Xavier Edwards and Tim Anderson. Ashby would then walk in a pair of runs to get Jacksonville on the board in the first. He would later give up four more runs in the third (2) and the fourth (2) innings, allowing six earned over four innings in the start.

Though already in a deep hole, the bullpen could not keep things from getting out of hand – though not entirely their fault. Harold Chirino gave up three unearned runs in the seventh inning, with a fielding error by Joey Wiemer costing the team dearly. Anderson hit a solo shot off Janson Junk in the eighth for the final run of the night for Jacksonville.

Eric Haase was the lone Sound to have multiple hits in the loss, going 2-for-4 with a pair of singles and a strikeout. Isaac Collins walked twice, while Vinny Capra had the lone extra-base hit, a double in the fourth inning.

Yonny Chirinos (4-4) tossed five scoreless innings for Jacksonville in the win. Anderson led Jacksonville with four hits, four runs and a home run in the contest.

The series concludes tomorrow afternoon with a matinee game in the Sunshine State. Right-hander Tyler Woessner (1-2, 11.45) will try and replicate his outing from Tuesday, which resulted in his first Triple-A win. Right-hander Roddery Muñoz (0-3, 7.84) gets the start for Jacksonville. The first pitch is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. central at 121 Financial Ballpark.
