The Tides carried a 4-2 lead into the ninth before Logan Gillaspie coughed up three runs, resulting in a one-run loss to Nashville. A few veteran big leaguers did the damage, with Luis Urías (brother of Ramón) roping an RBI double to score Monte Harrison before Josh VanMeter clubbed a go-ahead two-run homer. Before Gillaspie got involved, a trio of lefties muffled the Sounds. Starter Drew Rom gave up eight hits but held Nashville to two runs in 5.2 innings, striking out six, while T.J. McFarland and Nick Vespi combined for 2.1 scoreless frames.
Norfolk scored four runs by the fourth inning but was held in check after that.
