Justin Maese has the reputation of a sinker, slider pitcher who gets contact without many strikeouts. He reversed that on Wednesday with 12 strikeouts in seven innings. Bo Bichette, Andrew Guillotte, Roemon Fields and Raffy Lopez kept on hitting. Conner Greene had to battle through his start.

Buffalo outhit Gwinnett but a three run home run lost it for Buffalo. Luis Santos had been pitching better recently and he pitched OK on Wednesday. He only allowed three hits through five innings but one of them was that three run home run.
