AAA Gwinnett Braves (8-5)

Monday

Gwinnett had the day off.

Tuesday

Gwinnett struggled with team defense in the first inning, but starter Sean Newcomb locked in after the first. The G-Braves couldn’t muster enough runs to come back, however, and they ended up losing to Rochester 5-2.

Newcomb was off in his location certainly in the first as well, but he definitely let not getting calls get into his head and frustrate him as he made excellent pitches to the first hitter that he felt were mis-called. He finished with a line of 4 2/3 innings with 5 runs allowed (4 earned) on 6 hits and 4 walks, striking out 5.

Sean Kazmar had a double and a single. Lane Adams had two singles. Adam Walker had two walks. David Freitas had a solo home run.

Wednesday

After the bullpen gave up 4 runs over the final two innings to jeopardize the lead, the Gwinnett offense came back strong to score two runs in the bottom of the 9th and win Wednesday’s game over Rochester 7-6 in walk-off fashion.

Matt Wisler pitched a fine start, going 7 innings, allowing just two solo home runs for the scoring damage as part of 7 total hits with no walks and 5 strikeouts.

Rio Ruiz had two singles and a walk. Kyle Kubitza had a home run and a walk. Lane Adams had two singles, a stolen base, and drove in the game-winning runs. David Freitas had a single and two walks. Matt Tuiasosopo had two walks. Ozzie Albies had a double. Xavier Avery had a stolen base.
