The Nashville Sounds picked up a win at Principal Park, dropping the Iowa Cubs, 5-4, in 12 innings. Clayton Blackburn, who is tied for 3rd in the AC with a 1.11 WHIP, was the difference-maker. The win was credited to Arturo Flores in relief. His record improves to 3-3. Sergio García took the loss. The Sounds lead the American Conference North Division by 9 games.

Michael Conforto delivered a big hit for Nashville. The second baseman drilled a 2-run home run in the top of the 12th inning to put the Sounds ahead, 5-3. It was his only hit, but it was a beauty.

"That's what these guys do," said Sounds manager Steve Scarsone. "They battle, they fight."
