Monday saw Touki Toussaint pitch an absolute gem in his Double A debut, and numerous other guys including Ronald Acuna have big games, but nothing stands out more than Kevin Maitan leaving a game with an injury. Maitan was pulled for a pinch runner after he pulled up with a hamstring issue on his RBI single, and there was no additional information available until after the game ended. Fortunately after the game the injury was believed to be minor according to the below interview with manager Nestor Perez.
Norfolk Tides 4, Gwinnett Braves 1
- Ronald Acuna, CF: 2-5
- Dustin Peterson, LF: 3-4, 2B
- Aaron Blair, SP: 7 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 1 BB, 5 K
This one saw Aaron Blair make one of his better starts of the season, going seven innings and giving up three runs on seven hits and a walk.
