Isotopes beat Sounds 1-0, Ramirez makes debut

Manny Parra

In a rare pitcher’s-duel, the Nashville Sounds (41-31) lost to the Albuquerque Isotopes (36-35) by a score of 1-0.  It was only the 5th time the Sounds have been shut-out this year, and the first by a score of 1-0. Nashville has lost three straight games by only one run.

Manny Parra, who was sent down from Milwaukee on June 15th, started his second game for the Sounds tonight (0-1, 1.38) and pitched very well though he absorbed the loss. In 13.0 innings of work for the Sounds so far he has posted as an impressive 1.38 ERA, allowing just two runs on nine hits. Tonight Parra threw 93 pitches in7 innings; 59 of them were strikes.

Three Isotope’s pitchers accounted for blanking Nashville tonight. The win went to Avarado (W, 5-5).

There is not much of a game to summarize in terms of offense. The Isotope’s lone run came int he 7th inning when Dee Brown’s two-out single to right off Parra plated teammmate Luis Maza.

Manny Ramirez made his debut back to professional baseball for the Isotopes tonight and went 0 for 2, striking out once.
