Braves Minor League Recap: John Gil Homers

John Gil ended a long homerless drought for Rome’s “Emperors” with a long shot, but his three RBIs weren’t enough to secure a win. In Gwinnett’s doubleheader, the Stripers beat the Durham Bulls 8-0 in one game and won another game narrowly by 2-4, with Patrick Clohisy continuing a strong streak featuring another multi-hit performance in game one. Clohisy struggled in the second game, going hitless after two singles and posting a third hitless outing in his previous five. Sean Murphy, in rehab with Gwinnett, recorded a hit while playing all seven innings behind the plate, extending his rehab streak. Gwinnett managed multiple chances but wasted a key opportunity in the seventh of the second game.
