The Nashville Sounds got four hits from Joey Wendle and scored seven runs in the fourth inning on their way to a 12-3 rout of the Omaha Storm Chasers Monday night at Werner Park.

The win was Nashville’s 42nd of the season on the road – a PCL-era best for the Sounds. Wendle’s four hits matched a season high, and the Sounds got three hits from Rangel Ravelo and...

As Nationals manager Dusty Baker often says, “The Braves never give up.” And that was proven once again on Sunday afternoon at Turner Field as Atlanta rallied for a 7-6 win on Jace Peterson’s walk-off home run in the 10th inning. With the score tied at 6, Peterson — who also crashed into the wall in center to make a catch in the third inning — swung at a 3-2 pitch off Shawn Kelley and hit the ball into the right-field seats for his seventh home run of the season. “I was totally comfortable walking Peterson,” Kelley said. “But...

It looked like the Nationals were in for a long night on Saturday at Turner Field. Right-hander Max Scherzer was having early problems, while Braves rookie Tyrell Jenkins was having his way with Washington. By the fourth inning, however, Jenkins lost it by surrendering eight runs in the frame en route to the Nationals’ 11-9 win.

Jenkins got only one out in the fourth before right-hander Ryan Weber replaced...

A wild pitch and a bases loaded walk in the top of the tenth inning proved to be the difference in the Tacoma Rainiers’ 4-2 win over the Nashville Sounds Friday night in front of 9,687 fans at First Tennessee Park. With the bases loaded and one out in the tenth, Tucker Healy uncorked a wild pitch to the backstop that allowed Daniel Robertson to race home from third with the go-ahead run.
