Charlotte, NC – Nashville Sounds starter Josh Lindblom turned in his eighth quality start of the season, tossing six scoreless innings as the Sounds took a 10-6 triumph over the Charlotte Knights on Thursday night at Truist Field.
Things were rolling early for the Sounds on Thursday, picking up a pair of runs in the opening frame. Cam Devanney, Pablo Reyes, Jon Singleton, and Joey Wiemer combined for four-consecutive hits to put Nashville up 2-0 out of the gates.
Wiemer added another RBI to his line in the fifth inning, plating Singleton. Pedro Severino then doubled and scored Wiemer to make it a 4-0 game, then Weston Wilson brought Severino home on a fielder’s choice to make it 5-0 after four and a half.
Charlotte broke up the shutout with a three-run homer in the seventh, but the Sounds answered with three more in the eighth. Patrick Dorrian started the insurance inning with a solo homer to right field, his ninth blast of the season. Devanney added a sacrifice fly and Reyes tallied another RBI with a single to put the Sounds up 8-3.
