The Nashville Sounds used a 4-1 win in game two of a doubleheader to earn a split with the Oklahoma City Dodgers Thursday night at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark.

Four relievers combined to limit Oklahoma City to just one run on four hits in the game two win. Eduard Santos made a spot start and worked three innings before R.J. Alvarez, Andrew Triggs and Patrick Schuster finished the job.

O’Koyea Dickson’s solo homer in the second got the Dodgers on the board first, but the lead didn’t last long. Rangel Ravelo started the third with a single and came around to score on a Jaycob Brugman’s sacrifice fly to even the game at 1-1.

Brugman gave the Sounds (37-23) the lead for good when he delivered a two-out, run-scoring single in the fifth.

They tacked on a pair of insurance runs in the seventh to extend the lead to 4-1. Matt McBride doubled down the left field line to score Colin Walsh, and Chad Pinder drove in McBride with a sharp single up the middle. McBride is 6-for-6 with a walk and a hit by pitch over his last eight plate appearances.

Alvarez pitched 1 2/3 innings and picked up the win in his first MLB rehab game with the Sounds. Triggs bridged the gap between Alvarez and Schuster who worked a scoreless seventh to earn his fifth save.

In game one, the Sounds jumped out to an early lead in game one of the doubleheader but couldn’t hold on. Ryon Healy continued his hot hitting with a solo homer with two outs in the top of the second to give Nashville a 1-0 lead.

Joey Wendle lined a double to right field to get into scoring position for Walsh who collected his first RBI with the Sounds by sending a base hit to left, scoring Wendle to make it 2-0.

Dodgers’ (30-28) right fielder Corey Brown got started on his big game by cutting Nashville’s lead in half with one swing of the bat. He launched a solo homer off Angel Castro in the home half of the second.

Four hits and a costly error allowed Oklahoma City to plate three runs in the third. Antoan Richardson, Micah Johnson, Zach Walters and Rob Segedin produced the hits. Castro got the second out of the inning by getting Brown to line to first, but Healy fired the ball into left field trying to double up the runner at second. It allowed the third run of the inning to score and give the Dodgers a 4-2 lead.

Healy and Walsh produced another run in the sixth when Healy drilled a one-out double into the right-center gap. Walsh came through with a two-out, RBI single to cut the deficit to 4-3.

Brown was back at it again as he supplied an insurance run with another solo homer off Castro in the sixth. It was more than enough as the Sounds went in order in the seventh against Jacob Rhame who locked down the save in the Dodgers’ 5-3 win.

Game three of the five-game set is scheduled for Friday night at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. Left-hander Dillon Overton (5-4, 3.98) starts for the Sounds against right-hander Zach Lee (6-4, 4.65) for the Dodgers. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.

Julio Teheran kept the Padres off-balance Wednesday afternoon, as the right-hander led the Braves to a 4-2 victory, snapping Atlanta’s five-game losing streak and its 12-game skid at Petco Park.

Teheran allowed a pair of solo home runs to Padres first baseman Wil Myers, but little else, as he struck out eight over eight frames and allowed five hits. He also chipped in at the plate with a pair of singles and an RBI.
Ender Inciarte finished a homer shy of the cycle and sparked a big day from the top of the Braves’ order. Inciarte, Chase d’Arnaud and Freddie Freeman finished a combined 7-for-12 with two walks, three runs scored and three RBIs.
“Inciarte and d’Arnaud created a lot of havoc at the top of the lineup today, and that’s what we need to get some wins,” Freeman said. “What they did today translated into a win. It seemed like they were always on base, and we were able to get them in today.”
Padres left-hander Drew Pomeranz labored as much as he has in any outing this season, allowing three runs on nine hits over five innings. He took the loss, as the Padres squandered another chance for a sweep. They’re now 0-8 after winning the first two games of a series this season.
Left-handed starting pitchers had previously posted a 2.10 ERA against the Braves, and Pomeranz had allowed two earned runs or fewer in nine of his previous 11 starts. But these trends were quickly bucked as Inciarte and d’Arnaud began their three-hit games by accounting for two of the four singles Atlanta recorded in a two-run first inning. Inciarte tripled with two outs in the sixth, and scored when d’Arnaud followed with an RBI double.
“Inciarte is really swinging that bat pretty good right now, and Chase had a couple really good at-bats,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said. “You love that first-and-third action when they’ve got that going. [Freeman] the past few days, we’ve seen some really good signs.”
Myers’ multi-homer game was his first as a Padre, and he went deep five times on the eight-game homestand. He also made a diving stop at first base to halt Atlanta’s first-inning rally.
“I think he’s got all the potential in the world,” Green said. “I wouldn’t want to put any kind of limitation on him whatsoever. To me, from an offensive standpoint, when Wil stays disciplined within his approach and fires off his A swing, he’s as good as anybody in the game.”
Teheran did not allow a hit through the first three innings and found fortune when Alexei Ramirez lined into a double play between a pair of fifth-inning singles. Myers’ home runs served as the only costly damage incurred by the Braves right-hander, who has posted a 1.93 ERA over his past 10 starts. Five of the eight hits Teheran has surrendered over his past two starts have been solo home runs.
“Every time I step on the mound, I’ve got all my confidence and I want my team to win and to do all I can to help my team win,” Teheran said after notching his second win of the season and his first road win against a National League West opponent since June 6, 2014.
Melvin Upton Jr. has been arguably the Padres’ most exciting player this season. He’s already stolen home, thrown out six over-adventurous baserunners and hit two walk-off dingers. On Wednesday afternoon, he added a second home-run robbery to his 2016 resume. Freeman launched an 0-2 fastball from Pomeranz to left, which appeared to be ticketed for the seats. But Upton found the wall and timed his leap perfectly, keeping an Atlanta run off the scoreboard.
“I knew it was hit well,” Upton said. “It was hot. I was just tracking it, found the wall. Initially, I didn’t think I was going to jump, but I ended up having to jump, and I caught it.”
Freeman also came inches short of hitting a home run on Tuesday night, when a replay review determined a fan didn’t interfere with his eighth-inning triple.
“I asked [Upton] if it was going to be a home run, and he said, ‘Yeah,'” Freeman said with a smile. “I said, ‘Why didn’t you just tell me it was going to be a double?'”
Atlanta will begin a three-game series against the Cubs at Turner Field on Friday at 6:35 p.m. CT. Bud Norris will attempt to build on the success he had on Saturday, when he allowed one run over five innings while making a spot start in place of the injured Mike Foltynewicz.  Thunder Radio will bring you the broadcast of that game on the Atlanta Braves Radio Network.
