Nashville Sounds fall to Toledo Mud Hens, 9-4

Nashville SoundsToledo, OH – The Nashville Sounds dropped their second game of the series to the Toledo Mud Hens, falling 9-4 on Thursday night at Fifth Third Field. The Mud Hens kept Nashville from mounting a comeback after scoring all nine of their runs through the first three innings.

Jonathan Davis gave Nashville an early lead with a leadoff homer to left on the second pitch of the game. The Sounds added another run in the first with David Dahl’s RBI single that scored Abraham Almonte. However, the 2-0 run was short-lived, as Ryan Lavarnway’s two-run blast in the bottom of the first put Toledo on top 3-2. The Mud Hens led 9-2 after three innings, scoring one run in the second and five runs in the third.

Andy Otero had an excellent outing for the Sounds in a mop-up role. The Panamanian got Nashville out of the third inning and did not allow a run in 4.1 innings of work. He did not allow a hit, walking three and striking out a pair.
 
Tyler White came around to score a couple of late runs for the Sounds. He scored on a Toledo error in the sixth inning, then was hit home on Jonathan Davis’ double in the eighth.
 
Besides his 2 RBI night at the plate, Davis also flashed the leather out in center field. He made a spectacular diving catch to rob former Sound Jamie Westbrook of a single in the fifth.
 
Despite taking the loss, Nashville outhit Toledo 12-8. Davis, Almonte, Brice Turang, and Weston Wilson each had multi-hit games, respectively. Jon Singleton also reached base four times with a hit and three walks.
 
Nashville will try and even the series in game four tomorrow night at Toledo. Right-hander Josh Lindblom (1-1, 2.40) starts for Nashville against right-hander Garrett Hill (0-1, 3.60) for Toledo. The first pitch is scheduled for 6:05pm CT.
