Braves Minor League Recap: Homers everywhere on Saturday

"Lucas Braun turned in five solid innings of one-run baseball, allowing five hits and a walk while striking out six, to go with a game-high 10 whiffs. He was excellent in this one, prior to getting removed after the fifth with a pitch count of 82. Dylan Dodd came in and went the next inning and two thirds, and though he was mostly good - he did make a pair of mistakes that went for solo homers. Tayler Scott finished off the seventh inning with the final out, before Daysbel Hernandez and Joel Payamps pitched scoreless innings to finish this game off."

"The Stripers offense was also quite the story, as six guys reached base multiple times in an 11-run effort. Rowdy Tellez was once again a star, as he went three for five with a double, homer, and three runs batted in. Brewer Hicklen went three for four with a walk, triple, steal, and scored three runs. Rehabbing Ha-Seong Kim played the full game at short, and was two for four with a walk, double, and run scored. Brett Wisley (2-5), Nacho Alvarez (3 walks), and Jair Camargo (2-4) were the other three Stripers to reach multiple times in a game where eight of the nine starters reached base safely."

"Saturday was a day filled with not just home runs, but prospect home runs. In total four games got played, with the Columbus doubleheader being rained out, and nine homers were hit by members of the Atlanta Braves farm system - including a pair of two-homer games by Logan Braunschweig and Colby Jones."
