Nashville Sounds net 3-1 win over Sacramento River Cats
Nashville Sounds
Nashville, TN – The Nashville Sounds continued their winning ways Saturday night as they upended the Sacramento River Cats 3-1 in front of 10,811 fans at First Tennessee Park. The Sounds have now won six games in a row to set a new season-long winning streak.
Chris Bassitt put in a sterling effort on the mound for the Sounds as the right-hander matched a career-high by spinning eight innings of one-run baseball. He yielded just three hits and fanned six in his eight innings of work.

Sacramento took a 1-0 lead in the second inning on a Ryder Jones solo shot but the lead was short-lived as Nashville responded with a run of its own in the home half.
Sheldon Neuse and Melvin Mercedes each collected base knocks before Boog Powell lifted a bloop double into shallow left field to drive in a run.
The Sounds took the lead in the next inning as Neuse was again in the thick of the action. Dustin Fowler got the inning started with a base hit and was stuck at first for two outs.
Neuse then stepped to the play and drove a double to the deepest part of the ballpark in right center field to score Fowler from first base.
Bruce Maxwell gave the Sounds some insurance in the seventh inning with a run-scoring double to left field. Josh Lucas shut the door on Sacramento with a 1-2-3 ninth inning to earn his fifth save of the campaign
Game two of the four-game series between the Sounds and River Cats is scheduled for Sunday night at First Tennessee Park. Right-hander Daniel Mengden (2-1, 4.43) starts for the Sounds against left-hander Daniel Camarena (0-6, 5.37) for the River Cats. First pitch is scheduled for 6:15pm.
