A tough night on offense for Gwinnett as they failed to do much at all against Charlotte and lost 3-1. Mallex Smith did reach base three times out of the leadoff spot and has hit safely in 12 of his past 13. Hector Olivera (who is expected to join Atlanta when rosters expand next week) got himself another hit. Cedric Hunter continued his good work by extending his hit streak to 20 games with a double. Unfortunately for Gwinnett, they went 1 for 7 with RISP and only managed to get one run in. The pitching was pretty good with Kanekoa Texeira, Danny Burawa, and David Carpenter combined to give up just 3 runs, although Texeira lived dangerously with 4 walks and giving up a couple of homers.
