NASHVILLE – The Nashville Sounds dominated the Memphis Redbirds (Triple-A, St. Louis) 8-0 Tuesday at First Horizon Park. Rehabbing right-hander Tobias Myers pitched 3.1 scoreless innings, allowing just two hits on 45 pitches.
Jared Oliva’s two-run homer in the second inning put Nashville ahead. The Sounds added four runs in the fifth, highlighted by Ernesto Martinez Jr.’s two-RBI single. Martinez Jr. later hit his first Triple-A home run in the sixth, while Oliva capped the scoring with a bases-loaded hit-by-pitch in the eighth.
The bullpen was flawless as Tyler Jay finished the fourth before Bruce Zimmermann delivered five innings of relief, working out of a bases-loaded jam in the eighth.
