Atlanta Braves Minor League Recap: Organization sweeps as offenses go wild

Aaron Blair had another good start for Gwinnett and the offense backed him up to hold off Durham 7-5. In his past two starts, Blair has pitched 11 innings and given up just 3 runs while striking out 13 and walking 5. He will need to bring the walks down a bit, but his reworked delivery seems to be paying dividends for Blair in the early part of the season. Caleb Dirks relieved Blair and had a rough appearance that saw him give up 3 earned runs on 4 hits and a walk in an inning of work. Sam Freeman and David Hernandez restored order and pitched two scoreless innings to secure the win for Gwinnett.
