RedHawks 4, Nashville 1
The RedHawks won their eighth straight at home Thursday night, their longest home winning streak since winning eight consecutive games in June 2010.
On the mound
Nashville's leadoff hitter, Logan Schafer, started the game with a single and later scored, but no other Sound crossed the plate. RedHawks' starter Wes Musick, making his home debut for Oklahoma City since being promoted from Double-A Corpus Christi, pitched six innings and allowed one earned run on seven hits. He struck out four Nashville hitters. Closer Jose Valdez picked up his 11th save for the RedHawks by pitching a scoreless ninth inning.
At the plate
Brett Wallace blasted his ninth home run of the season with a two-run shot over the left-center field wall to highlight a three-run third inning for the RedHawks. Fernando Martinez had an RBI triple in the first inning to tie the game after Nashville took a 1-0 lead. Martinez leads the RedHawks with 38 RBIs this season.
Over their last 19 games, the RedHawks have scored 127 runs with 206 hits, including 31 home runs. Oklahoma City is 13-6 during the stretch.
