Rookie right-hander Williams Perez turned in a strong performance on Monday night at Fenway Park, leading the Braves to a 4-2 victory over the reeling Red Sox.  After going 0-4 against Boston last year, Atlanta took the first of the four meetings (all this week) between the clubs this season.  The Red Sox have lost seven in a row and are 27-38.  Perez (3-0, 2.29 ERA) gave up five hits and no runs over six innings, inducing the Red Sox into three double plays. Rick Porcello (4-7, 5.29 ERA) took the loss, giving up six hits and four runs...

The Sounds fell victim to an early deficit and dropped the series opener against the Memphis Redbirds at First Tennessee Park on Monday night, 5-2. The loss was the team’s fifth straight defeat and put Nashville’s home record to 15-14.

Memphis stormed out to a 4-0 lead off Sounds’ starter Chris Bassitt. Tommy Pham got the ‘Birds on the board when he blooped a two-run single in the first. Rafael Ortega hit a double...

A big third inning led the Oklahoma City Dodgers to a sweep of the Nashville Sounds as they cruised to a 4-2 victory at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark on Sunday night. The Sounds got on the board first, hanging two runs in the top of the third courtesy of RBI singles via Anthony Aliotti and Jason Pridie after Alden Carrithers led the inning off with a double down the right field line. Momentum shifted quickly however. Hector Olivera led off the bottom half of the inning with a single and Buck Britton flied out. Two singles and a double followed...

Down five runs at one point, the Mets clubbed four homers Sunday en route to their biggest comeback of the season in a 10-8 win over the Braves at Citi Field.  Juan Lagares completed the comeback with a go-ahead three-run home run in the sixth, giving the Mets a two-run lead — their first of the game. A patchwork bullpen took it from there, leaning on Jeurys Familia’s four-out save to hold Atlanta scoreless over the final five innings. Most of the early afternoon belonged to the Braves, who assaulted Mets spot starter Dillon Gee with an eight-run barrage...

A home run and a suicide squeeze were the story of Saturday’s summer league baseball game for Coffee County against Warren County. Alan Rob’s 3 run HR in the top of the 4th inning was not enough to overcome a successful squeeze bunt by Warren County in the bottom of the 7th to drop Coffee County by a final score of 10 to 9. The Raiders jumped out to a 4 to 0 lead in the 3rd inning powered in part by RBI doubles from Bradley King and Deandre Wakefield. The Pioneers responded in the bottom of the inning...

For the first time this season Sounds’ starter Zach Neal was beaten, as Oklahoma City defeated Nashville 6-4 at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark on Saturday night. Neal had five wins in as many appearances with Nashville posting a 1.60 ERA entering tonight’s action, including a win over Oklahoma City at First Tennessee Park on April 24. After giving up just six runs all season, the Dodgers matched that total, knocking the Sounds’ starter out of the game with just one out in the fifth. Jason Pridie continued to be a bright spot for Nashville crushing his team-leading seventh homer of...
