Portland Dispatched, 3-0, by Nashville
The Nashville Lasers used a great performance from Jaden Melrose, who was drafted in the 2nd round of the 2016 draft, to beat the Portland Mad Ants, 3-0, at Mad Ants Ballpark. In 6 innings, Melrose surrendered 4 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 2. He allowed no runs. After losing, Portland is 7-10.

Nashville used the clutch hitting of Hector Landa to snag the win. The shortstop drilled a 2-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Lasers ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a crucial one.

"It's a mindset," said Melrose. "Just trying to do your job, trying to be consistent."
