NASHVILLE – The Nashville Sounds forced extra innings for the third straight game but fell 5-2 to the Louisville Bats in front of 7,134 fans at First Horizon Park on Sunday afternoon.
Nashville starter Janson Junk held the Bats in check for the first five innings, allowing just one run on three hits and two walks. The right-hander struck out five in his Milwaukee organization debut but did not factor into the decision.
The Sounds kick off a six-game series against the Memphis Redbirds on Tuesday night at AutoZone Park. Right-hander Robert Stock starts for the Sounds, with the Redbirds’ starter to be determined. The first pitch is scheduled for 6:45 p.m.
