Lavarnway’s Heroics Lead Sounds Past Chihuahuas

Lavarnway’s Heroics Lead Sounds Past Chihuahuas

The Nashville Sounds overcame a three-run deficit Saturday night to defeat the El Paso Chihuahuas 7-3 in front of a sellout crowd at First Tennessee Park. 10,193 fans witnessed the Ryan Lavarnway rip a bases clearing double in the bottom of the eighth inning to give the Sounds a lead they would not relinquish. The eighth inning rally for the Sounds (13-13) began when Matt Olson reached on a strikeout wild pitch with two outs. Matt Chapman and Jaycob Brugman then each drew walks to set up Lavarnway to be the hero. The Sounds catcher clubbed a bases clearing...

Folty Hit Hard Early, Braves Shut Out by Cards

Folty Hit Hard Early, Braves Shut Out by Cards

Lance Lynn cruised through six scoreless innings and the Cardinals didn’t look like a team missing two starting outfielders as they humbled Mike Foltynewicz on the way to claiming a 10-0 win over the Braves on Friday night at SunTrust Park. Aledmys Diaz contributed four hits to the offensive onslaught that backed Lynn, who scattered four hits and exited with a 0.72 ERA over his past four starts. Freshly promoted Tommy Pham highlighted his two-hit night with a two-run home run in a four-run third inning, and Matt Carpenter added to Foltynewicz’s woes by hitting his own two-run shot...

Mets-Braves Postponed, Will Be Rescheduled

Mets-Braves Postponed, Will Be Rescheduled

Given that their bullpen was taxed after the Mets claimed a lopsided win on Wednesday night, the Braves weren’t necessarily upset that the first rain delay in SunTrust Park history led to a postponement of Thursday’s series finale. Play was halted with the Mets holding a 3-1 lead in the fourth inning. However, everything that occurred before a one-hour, 59-minute rain delay essentially didn’t happen in terms of official results. The game will be made up in its entirety at a to-be-determined date later this season. As the Mets chased Bartolo Colon after just four innings in their 16-5...
