Tyler Black powers Nashville to series split after doubleheader loss, shutout win
Tyler Black drove in four runs in the nightcap and finished the series with 10 RBIs as Nashville salvaged a split with a 7-0 shutout after an 8-5 loss.
Tyler Black drove in four runs and Nashville answered a rough opener with a 7-0 shutout, salvaging a split after 16 innings against Gwinnett. The Sounds and Stripers finished a suspended game from Saturday, then played a seven-inning nightcap after a half-hour break at First Horizon Park.
Gwinnett broke a 0-0 game in the top of the first after play resumed Sunday at 4:35 p.m. ET, cashing in a bases-loaded spot for a four-run burst that included RBI singles from Ben Gamel and Sandy Leon, plus Brewer Hicklen’s two-run triple. JR Ritchie handled the bulk of the resumed game for Gwinnett, working 5.1 innings and allowing five hits and five runs, four earned, with six strikeouts. Gamel finished 3-for-4 with two RBIs in the Stripers’ 8-5 win, and Nashville spent the rest of that game trying to climb out of a hole it never fully escaped.
Jett Williams doubled to start the game, Tyler Black followed with a sacrifice fly, and the Sounds kept stacking pressure with bases-loaded walks to Williams and Luis Lara for a 3-0 lead before the game settled in. Black added the swing that put it out of reach, turning on a Hayden Harris pitch for a solo homer in the fifth, then Nashville added three more runs in the sixth to finish the 7-0 win. Black went 2-for-3 with the homer and four RBIs in the second game and finished the series with 10 RBIs. Andrick Nava also delivered a milestone, launching his first career Triple-A home run.
Logan Henderson, back on a rehab assignment from the Milwaukee Brewers and making his first appearance since landing on the injured list in late May, threw three scoreless innings and lowered his 2026 Triple-A ERA to 0.87. His line now sits at 2-0 with a 0.87 ERA, 20.2 innings and 33 strikeouts in six games. Carlos Carrasco added 2.1 hitless innings in relief in his first Triple-A appearance since May 15.
Gwinnett left Nashville with a 3-3 split in the six-game set and a 9-9 split in the 2026 season series. The Stripers’ first series split in Nashville since May 9-14, 2023.
