TEMPE, Ariz. -- The Nashville Sounds opened their 2014 spring training slate on the short end of a 2-1 loss to the Salt Lake Bees (AAA-Angels) on Friday afternoon at Tempe Diablo Stadium Complex.

 

Hunter Morris, Jason Rogers, and Greg Golson each had two hits apiece for Nashville, with Rogers driving in the Sounds' lone run. Josh Prince chipped in with a double.

 

RHP Drew Gagnon started for the Sounds and allowed just one run, unearned, in 2.1 innings of work. Veteran southpaw Brad Mills worked 1 2/3 scoreless frames and (fellow LHP) Brent Leach and RHP David Goforth each added scoreless relief innings in the contest for Nashville.

 

The Sounds (0-1) continue their spring slate on Saturday afternoon with a home contest at Maryvale Baseball Park against the PCL rival Reno Aces (AAA-Diamondbacks).

Gee I hope we do not have a year of having to find different synonyms for losing multi games each day... today we were edged, topped, and downed. But we did accomplish a 'rally to edge' on the plus side. Actually, I wonder how many different variations there are to use instead of WON or LOST. Off the top of my head... outlasted, held on, snatched from the jaws of victory / defeat (a two way phrase), pummelled, blanked, no hit, one hit, two hit, three hit (they stop about there, don't they?), walked off, destroyed, embarrassed, humiliated, obliterated, catapulted, snuck, squeaked out, let get away, ran away, took away, ...

Cool!

 

Brewers farmhand 3B Mike Walker is in Australia & had two base hits for the Aussies vs. Dodgers in exhibition.

[Mass Haas]

Brad's daily Minor League Camp Report includes a Damien Magnifico feature, and several observations, including on Taylor Jungmann and Nick Shaw.

 

More photos!

 

Honestly, between the features, notes, and photos (including even DSL prospects stateside for the first time), has anyone across MiLB done a better job for their organization's fandom?!

 

Kudos, Brad!

[Mass Haas]

Can't believe none of the farmhands tweeted about this --

 

Via Rotoworld:

 

Felix Hernandez threw seven innings in a minor league game Thursday.

 

King Felix didn't feel like making the trip to Mesa, so he stayed on his turn and pitched against the Brewers' Class-A team. He's lined up to start Opening Day against the Angels on March 31.
