Atlanta Braves Minor League Recap: Lucas Herbert Homers Again

The GBraves struck early in this one to take a 4-1 lead in the 4th inning, but were shut down for the remainder of the game while the bullpen faltered and let the game slip away. The big hit came off of the bat of Ryan Howard, who went opposite field for his first home run of his Braves career. Ozzie Albies had a base hit to extend his hitting streak to 3 games, but he still hasn’t played well in that stretch only going 3-13 with 5 strikeouts. Rio ruiz saw his hitting streak stopped at 5 games, his longest since the opening 6 games of the season, but he’s seen a drastic reduction in his strikeouts of late with only 3 in his last 25 PA and 7 in his last 41.
