Nashville SoundsColorado Springs, CO – The Nashville Sounds gained a split of a four-game set with a 3-2 victory over the Colorado Springs Sky Sox on Sunday evening at Security Service Field.

Right-hander Jimmy Nelson (3-4) picked up the win for the Sounds after allowing one run on five hits and striking out five batters over his five innings of work. He lowered his Triple-A ERA to 3.54 with the effort.

Blake Lalli (2-for-4) powered the Sounds to an early lead with a two-run homer in the top of the second inning off Sky Sox starter Armando Galarraga, the backstop’s 11th roundtripper of the year. Josh Prince (2-for-3), who preceded Lalli with a single, also scored on the blast.

Colorado Springs halved the Nashville lead to 2-1 in the third when ex-Sound Hernan Iribarren led off with a single and later scored on Ryan Wheeler’s one -out double to center.

Nashville tacked on a run in the fifth when Eugenio Velez’s sacrifice fly plated Blake Davis, who had opened the frame with a single.

Johnnie Lowe (1.0 IP) and Brent Leach (2.1 IP) worked scoreless relief for the Sounds to keep it a 3-1 contest until the ninth, when the Sky Sox didn’t go down without a fight against Sounds closer Jesus Sanchez.

After Sanchez retired the first two hitter of the inning, Jordan Pacheco, Tim Wheeler, and Iribarren strung together three consecutive singles, which made it a 3-2 game and placed Wheeler at third as the tying run. Sanchez then retired Reid Brignac on a game-ending lineout to third.

The Sounds continue their West Coast road trip on Monday in Reno, Nevada with the 9:05pm opener of a four-game series at Aces Ballpark. Left-hander Chris Narveson (4-6, 4.99), who has worked a Nashville season-high 16 2/3 consecutive scoreless frames over his last three outings, will make the start for the Sounds. Reno will counter with southpaw Tyler Skaggs (6-7, 4.12).
