With all due respect to Nico Hoerner, this is probably less to do his baseball IQ and more to do with the White Sox being the White Sox

After five games in 14 days, #NashvilleSC is, in the words of BJ Callaghan, "physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted." But they had just enough in them to beat Toronto FC and briefly rise to first place in the Supporters' Shield race. #everyoneN tennessean.com/story/sports/n…

Cincinnati beats Real Salt Lake with a goal late in the second half and remains in the lead for the Supporters’ Shield, one point ahead of Nashville. NSC was on top there for a little while. #everyoneN

The race is tied again. Surridge taps in No. 18 after Sean Johnson can't corral Hany Mukhtar's original shot. Ahmed Qasem forced a turnover in the middle of the field to lead to the goal and Nashville SC has a 1-0 lead in the 29th minute. #everyoneN

The previous high for assists in a single MLS season among #NashvilleSC defenders was four, btw. Another reminder that Najar is making just $280,000 this season. #everyoneN
