Nashville Sounds Baseball
Nashville, TN – Outfielder Matt Angle homered and drove three as the visiting Albuquerque Isotopes blanked the Nashville Sounds, 7-0, in the opener of a four-game series on Friday night at Greer Stadium.
The shutout loss was Nashville’s seventh of the season and also snapped a three-game winning streak.
Isotopes starter Fernando Nieve (5-6) allowed four hits over six shutout innings for a quality start and victory.
Outfielder Corey Patterson had two of Nashville’s four hits. Second baseman Eric Farris and outfielder Caleb Gindl also singled.After Angle singled in the second, Brian Cavazos-Galvez gave Albuquerque a 2-0 lead with a two-run shot over the left field wall. The long ball was his sixth of the season.
Angle added to the Albuquerque lead with a solo homer over the right field wall in the fourth.
The Isotopes plated four runs in the next frame that made it 7-0. Alex Castellanos walked, moved to second a wild pitch, and scored the first run of the frame on a Josh Fields RBI single. Field would later steal second base and scored on another wild pitch from McClung. Angle then removed Nashville starter Seth McClung from the game with a two-run single to right field.
McClung (2-11) lasted 4 2/3 innings in the loss, scattering nine hits for seven runs. The 31-year-old also struck out nine Isotopes, setting a season high for Sounds starters.
Amaury Rivas followed up with 2 1/3 scoreless innings in relief. Rob Wooten finished the game with two shutout frames.
The Sounds and Isotopes continue their series on Saturday with doubleheader consisting of two seven-inning contests beginning at 6:05pm CT at Greer Stadium.
