Top prospects fueling Sounds' run to top of standings

The International League West-leading Nashville Sounds have had quite the month of July, which started with an eight-game win streak before it was snapped by the Columbus Clippers on July 10.

Nashville has won 10 of its last 15 games, but this hot stretch is just a microcosm of the Sounds’ season thus far. Strong performances all across the diamond, between the pitching and defense to offensive outbursts, have Nashville positioned as one of the hotter teams in the league. The Sounds are 19 games over .500 with a three-game lead over Columbus atop the division.
