Saturday was an eventful day where Austin Riley and Ronald Acuna homered, Travis Demeritte and Mallex Smith kept on hitting, and Max Fried recorded strikeouts for 10 of the 14 outs he got as the Braves went on to win four of five games on the day.
Gwinnett Braves 3, Durham Bulls 7
- Emilio Bonifacio, LF/CF: 2-5, R, .299/.358/.372
- Chris Ellis, SP: 5 IP, 7 H, 5 R, 2 BB, 4 K
- Jason Hursh, RP: 3 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 0 K
The AAA struggles of Chris Ellis continued here, although they weren’t quite as bad as the final stat line indicates as he gave up all five runs in one inning and was having some success outside of that one bad inning.
