After a well-pitched game, even in a loss, to open the minor league season, the Gwinnett Stripers remained the only Braves affiliate playing games right now and they notched their first victory of the season by the score of 5-3 thanks to the efforts of Touki Toussaint and Braden Shewmake among others.
