Atlanta Braves Minor League Recap: Ozzie Albies is good at baseball, Rio has a big game

Kris Medlen had a strong start in Gwinnett and Ozzie Albies, Rio Ruiz, and the offense backed him up in a big way as Gwinnett beat up on Norfolk 10-3. Medlen had struggled a bit in his previous three outings, but he went six strong innings in this game with no walks and five strikeouts. Given the struggles of some members of the Atlanta rotation in addition to the trade deadline coming up, it still seems possible that we could see Medlen suit up for Atlanta by season’s end even if he may not be the pitcher he once was.
