No word yet on when MyNew32 TV will add a broadcast to its schedule to make up for Monday's missed game (rainout), but as of this post, it does not appear as though any part of tonight's doubleheader is on TV (other than MiLB.TV).

 

Wednesday evening's game is still set for MyNew32 TV.

Sounds Slammed By Z's, 9-4

Nashville's Morris Goes 2-For-4 with 2 RBIs; Jeffress Makes Sounds Debut

Nashville Sounds

 

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Nashville Sounds allowed a season-high nine runs in Tuesday morning's contest against the New Orleans Zephyrs, falling by a final score of 9-4 on Education Day at Greer Stadium.

 

Down 1-0 in the third inning, Sounds starting pitcher Ariel Pena (0-2) had difficulty locating pitches, with three walks and two wild pitches in the frame alone. The free bases ended up hurting Nashville when New Orleans catcher Kyle Skipworth drove a wind-aided grand slam over the centerfield wall.

 

The grand slam is the first surrendered by Nashville this season and the first since Engle Beltre hit one for Round Rock on August 19, 2013.

 

The Zephyrs added to their lead with three runs in the fourth inning. Pena offered a lead-off walk and committed a throwing error to put runners on the corners for Jake Marisnick, who hit a single to centerfield to make it 6-0. Pena walked the following batter, loading the bases and ending his day in the fourth.

 

Reliever Dustin Molleken stepped in to issue a bases-loaded walk to his first batter, Josh Rodriguez. The Zephyrs plated their third run of the frame with a sacrifice fly.

 

Pena took the loss, his second, allowing eight runs, six earned, on four hits and six walks over three innings of work. Molleken pitched three innings to finish with one unearned run on his line.

 

Newcomer Jeremy Jeffress made his Sounds debut a good one, collecting 1 2/3 scoreless innings for Nashville. He threw five strikeouts and two of the team's season-high 11 walks.

 

Left fielder Eugenio Velez entered the game with the league's top average of .403 and put the Sounds on the board in the fourth inning with his RBI-single to shallow center. The hit scored Caleb Gindl, who doubled for Nashville's first hit.

 

Gindl, who batted .333 (11-for-33) on the team's recent roadtrip, finished the day 2-for-4 with two doubles. He and Hector Gomez both scored on Hunter Morris' double in the eighth inning. Taylor Green followed with a sac-fly for the Sounds' final run.

 

The win marks New Orleans' sixth consecutive. Starting pitcher Jay Rogers (1-1) was awarded his first win, limiting Nashville to one run over six innings.

 

The Sounds will play a doubleheader against the Zephyrs Wednesday, beginning at 4:05 p.m. Nashville's RHP Mike Fiers (4-0, 1.01) will pitch in the first game opposite LHP Brian Flynn (2-1, 4.13) while RHP Alfredo Figaro (0-0, 4.50) will start the nightcap. Jeff Hem has the call, which will begin as an internet-only broadcast before 102.5 The Game joins in progress at 6 p.m.

 

Nashville Boxscore

If you look at Arial Pena's last 3 seasons there aren't a whole lot of games in the middle, where he'd have like a 4.50 ERA for the game, nor will you find him pitching in the 7th very often. When he's on he's piling up strike outs but still not very efficient as a pitcher needing high pitch counts to get through 6, and when he's bad the wheels tend to come off. Today was one of those bad days... Pena's final line 3 IP, 4 H, 8 R, 6 ER, 6 BB, 2 SO, 1 HR, a 2 WP while throwing just 36 of 81 pitches for strikes.

 

Jeremy Jeffress' debut was covered above, I'm pretty ambivalent about his signing right now.

 

All of the notable hitting lines were covered in the game story.

Nashville Recap

 

This is ugly.

Michael Reed has been turning it on lately. Now he's up to .250, 20 bbs and 13sb's ..... I think he is the forgotten prospect a lot of times. Def one of the most underrated. I believe he will steal 50+ bases this season as well as hit 10-12hrs. If he can hit .270 at least in BC. I think he could be a top 10 prospect

Tyrone Taylor raised his batting average by .065 in two days. Very impressive gain considering he is almost 100 AB's into the season. Nice to see him have a couple of breakout games in Brevard.
Not just “at Night” anymore.

Final: Brevard County 20, Clearwater 0

 

Taylor hits for cycle as 'Tees thrash Threshers, 20-0

Brevard County tallies 22 hits in historic shutout

By Andrew Luftglass / Brevard County Manatees

 

http://brevardcounty.manatees.milb.com/assets/images/0/5/0/72210050/cuts/Taylor_4.15_640x360_hnffi94d_nzx2z83o.jpg

Brevard County outfielder Tyrone Taylor became the first player in franchise history to hit for the cycle as he did so in his first four at-bats and finished the night 5-for-5 with three RBI and a walk in the Manatees 20-0 drubbing of the Clearwater Threshers on Tuesday night at Bright House Field in Clearwater. (Dennis Greenblatt/Hawk-Eye Sports Photography)

 

CLEARWATER, Fla. - Right fielder Tyrone Taylor hit for the first cycle in the 21-year history of the Brevard County Manatees - and he did it in his first four at-bats - as the 'Tees thrashed the Clearwater Threshers, 20-0 on Tuesday night at Bright House Field.

 

Taylor began the night rather routinely with a single in the first inning. He then got the most difficult part of the cycle out of the way with his next at-bat with a triple in the third.

 

In the fourth, Taylor almost homered over the left field wall, as he drove a line drive that was about a foot too low that hit off the wall for an RBI double.

 

Looking back at it, Taylor is probably fortunate that he did not elevate that ball enough. In his next at-bat, just one inning later, the right fielder drove a no-doubt home run well over the left field wall to complete the cycle, on his mother's birthday.

 

He added another single in the ninth to finish 5-for-5 with three RBI, to become the first Manatee with five hits in a game since D'Vontrey Richardson accomplished the feat against the St. Lucie Mets on May 17, 2011.

 

Taylor's was the first cycle by a Florida State League hitter since August 10, 2013. That night, Gustavo Pierre did it for the Dunedin Blue Jays against Brevard County.

 

Not to be forgotten, the Manatees (13-12) had solid pitching all evening to secure the shutout. Southpaw starter Hobbs Johnson (2-3, 2.33) pitched six scoreless innings on his 23rd birthday. Johnson fell just shy of a season-high with six strikeouts and only surrendered five hits to earn his second win of the season.

 

Martin Viramontes and Stephen Peterson combined for the final three shutout innings. Viramontes set the Threshers down in order, in both the seventh and eighth innings and recorded a pair of strikeouts. Peterson pitched a perfect ninth to finish the win.

 

The Manatees' offense not only scored a season-high 20 runs, they also reached season-bests in hits (22) and home runs (four). Before Tuesday night, the last time that Brevard County scored 20 runs in a game was on April 25, 2003 against the Daytona Cubs.

 

Three Brevard County Manatees hit their first home runs of the season: Mike Garza, Michael Reed and Yadiel Rivera.

 

Brevard also saw six different men notch multi-hit performances. Aside from Taylor's five knocks, Orlando Arcia and Cameron Garfield each had four hits. Arcia was 4-for-7 with a pair of doubles and three runs scored. Garfield went 4-for-4 with a double, three RBI and two walks. Reed, Rivera, Garza and Victor Roache each had two-hit nights.

 

The 'Tees have taken the first two games of the series against Clearwater (5-20) and will go for the sweep on Wednesday afternoon at 1:00 p.m. at Bright House Field. Right-hander Tyler Wagner (3-0, 1.61) will take the hill for Brevard against Clearwater's Brody Colvin (0-1, 6.00).

 

Brevard County Box Score

 

What a night for the Manatees offense. They are way more talented than the numbers have shown recently and it was only a matter of time before the bats started to come around. The big story is obviously Tyrone Taylor's cycle. He went 5-for-5 with two singles, a double, a triple, a home run, a walk, a sacrifice fly, three runs batted in and five runs scored. Taylor's average has shot up sixty-five points over the past two games. He wasn't the only Manatee to put up huge numbers however, as the Sea Cows banged out 22 hits and also drew ten walks. Cameron Garfield went 4-for-4 with a double and two walks. Orlando Arcia was 4-for-7 with a pair of doubles. Michael Reed reached base seven times, with a single, a home run, three walks, a hit-by-pitch and he reached on an error. Victor Roache singled twice. Yadiel Rivera was 2-for-3 with a home run before giving way to Alfredo Rodriguez who singled and walked. Mike Garza had a triple and a home run in six at bats.

 

Hobbs Johnson tossed six scoreless innings to earn his second victory of the year on his 23rd birthday. He allowed five hits, but walked none and struck out six. Martin Viramontes and Stephen Peterson continued the bullpen's domination in April, setting the Threshers down without a hit over the final three innings to preserve the shutout.

Haha, you beat me to it! 8-for-9 with four extra-base hits over the last two nights will help that average a lot!
