Gwinnett used strong pitching and a couple good hitting performances to secure the win over Pawtucket 3-2. Andrew Albers made his longest start of the year, going 5 innings (91 pitches) and giving up just two earned to go along with a walk and six strikeouts. Caleb Dirks and David Hernandez combined for four scoreless and hitless innings of relief during which they struck out five batters. In seven appearances for Gwinnett this season, Hernandez has given up just one earned run while holding opposing batters to a .148 batting average.
On offense, all good things must come to an end as Ozzie Albies hitting streak ended with an 0-4 night at the plate.
