Atlanta Braves Minor League Recap 8⁄15: Strong pitching performance from 2016 class

John Gant struggled badly giving up 9 hits and 6 earned runs over 5 innings including two tape measure homers. The 6 runs were the most earned runs he’s given up this year (gave up 5 on May 30th against Pawtucket). It’s one to forget.

Brandon Cunniff returned to Gwinnett and yielded just 1 run over 2 innings of work and didn’t give up a walk. Shae Simmons surrendered 2 earned runs on 2 hits and 2 walks in a single inning.

Rio Ruiz reached base twice thanks to 2 walks, as the top 5 of the lineup struggled going a combined 2-for-16, but still reached base 8 times thanks to 6 walks.
