Jon Kennedy gave up two runs in the seventh during his two innings of work, but Chase Johnson-Mullins allowed only one hit to close the game out for the Braves in the ninth.

The story of the night was Jonathan Morales who had a perfect 5-for-5 night at the plate, with two runs and an RBI.

Wigberto Nevarez drove in three runs of his own, going 1-for-4 with a double and a walk, while Jared James, Carlos Castro, and Yeudi Grullon each had an RBI apiece.
