NASHVILLE – The Nashville Sounds (48-44, 10-7) rallied late and had the winning run on base in the ninth inning but dropped their first game of the series to the Iowa Cubs (41-51, 8-9), 4-3, in front of 11,107 fans on Saturday night at First Horizon Park.
Down 4-3 in the bottom of the ninth, the Sounds had two runners on base with zero outs courtesy of singles by Joey Wiemer and Francisco Mejía. But a strikeout, caught stealing and another strikeout ended the comeback effort and Nashville’s five-game winning streak.
The Sounds were first out of the gates with an Isaac Collins triple in the first inning that scored Joey Wiemer and Wes Clarke. But the offense stalled afterward with no runs until the eighth inning. Iowa tied the game in the second inning on a throwing error by Collins that sailed into the dugout. In the third inning, Trayce Thompson hit his first home run for the I-Cubs to give them their first lead of the game at 3-2. Nashville had a scoring chance in the sixth inning with runners on second and third, but Wiemer grounded out to end the frame.
After Iowa extended their advantage to 4-2, Yonny Hernández singled into left field to score Owen Miller and made it a one-run game. Hernández advanced to second base on the play but the next two Sounds struck out to end the inning at a 4-3 deficit.
Taylor Clarke (1-2) made his first start in nearly two weeks and battled through 4 1/3 innings. He allowed seven hits, three runs and had three strikeouts. Kevin Herget finished off the fifth inning without further damage and Evan McKendry completed the final four innings with just one earned run allowed.
The Sounds and I-Cubs play the series finale tomorrow afternoon. Right-hander Garrett Stallings (0-1, 5.54) will get the start for Nashville and face off against veteran right-hander Dan Straily (1-5, 5.04) for Iowa. The first pitch is set for 1:05 p.m. at First Horizon Park.
