Two of the last three Tuesdays have been perfect for the Atlanta Braves minor leaguers. This Tuesday was unfortunately the opposite as all four teams lost. The Mississippi Braves came close, with some ninth-inning dramatics, and Augusta did score some runs so all was not lost.
Here’s how it went down on the Braves’ farm to open the week.
Gwinnett Stripers (17-20) 2, Memphis Redbirds (21-16) 8
- Drew Waters, CF: 2-for-5, 1 2B, 1 K
- Braden Shewmake, SS: 0-for-4, 1 BB, 2 K
- Greyson Jenista, RF: 2-for-3, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 BB
- Connor Johnstone, SP: 2 IP, 4 H, 4 R (3 earned), 1 BB
Connor Johnstone, Brandyn Sittinger, Brandon Brennan and Thomas Burrows bullpenned their way through the Memphis lineup, each going two innings.
