There could have been four no-hitters pitched on the Atlanta Braves farm on Tuesday night (spoiler alert: there weren’t), and it wouldn’t have mattered. For the first time in 284 days, Ronald Acuña Jr. was in a lineup and all was right in the baseball world.
Here’s your look at Tuesday night in the Braves minor leagues.
(5-8) Gwinnett Stripers 0, (6-7) Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 2
- Ronald Acuña Jr., RF: 1-for-3, 1 2B
- Braden Shewmake, SS: 0-for-4, 4 K
- Travis Demeritte, LF: 0-for-3, 1 BB, 2 K
- Connor Johnstone, SP: 5 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 0 K
Connor Johnstone pitched well, but we all know what the story was in Jacksonville.
