The Atlanta Braves Triple-A club, the Gwinnett Stripers, dropped their series-opener versus the Columbus Redbirds on Wednesday night, 5-4, though the Stipers’ first postseason game didn’t lack in excitement.
The recap
Bryse Wilson was originally slated to start the game, but was recalled to the majors on Tuesday, so Gwinnett manager Damon Berryhill went with the team’s ERA leader, lefty Tucker Davidson. However, on a scorching September night, Davidson struggled.
The lefty needed 84 pitches to get through 3.2 innings, as he labored through his taxing outing.
