Nashville Sounds: Win 9-4

They scored 5 of them to take a 6-0 lead early in the game. Then later in the game Westbrook and Lopes hit back-to-back home runs to extend the lead to 9-0. The Indians scored late in the game, but it was not enough to mount the comeback and the Sounds won 9-4. Lindblom pitched 4 scoreless innings and Keston Hiura has a 7-game hitting streak.
Atlanta Braves: Loss 2-1
The Atlanta Braves dropped a heartbreaker to the Phillies last night. It was a defense and pitching matchup as neither team had a run through 5 innings. Then in the 6th, the Braves scored first on an RBI single from Contreras. The next runs in the game came in the bottom of the ninth as Luke Williams hit a 2-run home run to win it in the last half-inning of the game. It was Williams’ first career home run. Will Smith was on the mound and given the loss.
Cincinnati Reds: Win 7-3
The Cincinnati Reds came away last night with a victory over the Brewers. Vladimir Gutierrez earned his second win of the season as he pitched 7 innings, gave up 2 runs, and struck out 7 batters.
