NASHVILLE – Despite solid work from the pitching staff, the Nashville Sounds (13-18) were no-hit in a 2-0 loss to the Norfolk Tides (16-15), dropping the fourth game of the series on Friday night at First Horizon Park.

Chad Patrick (1-1) was tremendous in his fifth start of the season for the Sounds. He went 6.1 innings, allowing four hits, two runs, one earned, two walks and struck out nine. It was his second quality start this season and his longest outing.

The Sounds bullpen was stingy and combined for 2.2 scoreless innings with only one hit allowed. Kevin Herget (0.2 IP), Rob Zastryzny (1.0 IP) and Enoli Paredes (1.0 IP) helped keep the Sounds within striking distance.

Nobody reached base for Nashville until the seventh inning. After a walk by Yonny Hernández and Brewer Hicklen, they were a swing away from taking the lead. Norfolk starter, Chayce McDermott was taken out and his replacement induced a popup by Owen Miller to end the frame.

Chayce McDermott (6.1 IP), Nolan Hoffman (1.1 IP), and Kaleb Ort (1.0 IP) combined in the no-hitter for the Tides. Both pitching staffs struck out 13 batters in the contest.

Nashville will try to turn it around tomorrow night. Right-hander Carlos Rodriguez (1-4, 8.13) will get the ball for the Sounds. He’ll go up against right-hander Garrett Stallings (0-0, 5.84). The first pitch is set for 6:35 p.m. at First Horizon Park.
