LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. - The Gwinnett Stripers (5-7) were shut out for the second straight game on Sunday, falling 3-0 to the Nashville Sounds (8-4) in a fast-paced pitcher’s duel at Coolray Field.

Decisive Play: Sounds' first baseman Tyler White hit his second home run in as many days when he cranked a two-run blast (2) in the fourth inning off Gwinnett starter Kyle Muller (0-1) to make the score 2-0. Pablo Reyes pushed the lead to three with a homer of his own (1) to lead off the ninth inning off lefty Dylan Lee.

Key Contributors: Despite taking his first loss of the season, Muller allowed just two runs - both on White's home run - and struck out seven over 6.0 two-hit innings. Braden Shewmake, Justin Dean, and John Nogowski supplied the Stripers with their three hits on the afternoon.

Noteworthy: The game lasted just two hours and four minutes, the fastest game at Coolray Field since the Stripers defeated the Charlotte Knights 2-0 on September 2, 2018 in a brisk one hour and 58 minutes.
