Gwinnett faced Brad Penny, but came up broke on offense as he allowed no runs over 7 innings. Notably, he struck out Mallex Smith in their first 2 matchups today, this after Mallex struggled to catch up to Penny's fastball in their last match up. Gwinnett was able to add 2 late after an hour and 18 minute rain delay, but weren't able to scrap together enough to tumble the Knights.
