Nashville put the Tides away early. Blake Burke went deep on a fly ball to center in the first inning, scoring Frelick and setting the tone for a complete shutdown. The Sounds cruised to a 7-0 win, moving to 66-57 while Baltimore fell to 45-76. The teams meet again Friday.
Burke's two-run homer in the top of the first broke the seal and gave Nashville all the runs it would need in a dominant shutout victory.
Burke finished 2 for 5 with a home run and 2 RBIs to lead the Sounds' attack, though both offenses left runners stranded throughout the night.
Nashville stranded 9 runners, Baltimore left 10 on the board, and neither lineup could cash in when it mattered most.
The Sounds are coming off a loss, 6-4 over their last 10. The Tides are winners of 2 straight, 6-4 over their last 10.
The Sounds are up next at Jumbo Shrimp (Aug 27-29). The Tides are up next at Bulls (Aug 27-29).
Ranked by win probability added: how far each player's plays moved this game's odds, not how their box-score line reads. A single with the bases loaded in the ninth outranks a home run in a blowout, because that is what actually decided it.
Runs by inning across the top, then every batter and pitcher underneath. The pills switch clubs; the totals column is each side’s own line, not a comparison.
