Across 3.2 innings, Anderson allowed 4 runs on 6 hits. Ian Anderson made his first rehab start above the single-A level on Saturday and while it may not have gone according to plan, there was plenty of action across the board for Atlanta’s minor league affiliates. So let’s dive in.
(44-50) Gwinnett Stripers 4, (42-49) Charlotte Knights 5 (GAME 1)
Nacho Alvarez Jr., 3B: 3-4, HR, 2B, 2 RBI, 2 R
Andrew Velazquez, 2B: 2-3, 2B, RBI, R
Ian Anderson, SP: 3.2 IP, 6 H, 4 ER, BB, 4 K
Box Score
Ian Anderson’s first rehab start above the single-A level was less than stellar as the righty works his way back from Tommy John surgery.
Across 3.2 innings, Anderson allowed four earned runs — all of which came in the first two innings. However, Anderson only walked one and struck out four on the night.
Trailing 3-0 headed into the home half of the first, Gwinnett got one of those runs back as Nacho Alvarez Jr. homered over the left field wall to make it a 3-1 game. After Charlotte tacked on an additional run to their lead to make it 4-1, the Stripers managed to tie things up in the bottom of the frame.
Luis Liberato led off the inning by reaching on an error and subsequently stole second base before Andrew Velazquez doubled him home to make it 4-2. In his second extra-base-hit of the evening, Alvarez Jr. came through with a double to plate Velazquez, cutting the deficit to 4-3. Alvarez would come around to score after Yuli Gurriel reached on an error to knot things up at 4 apiece.
The Knights would retake the lead in the top of the fourth inning, as Gwinnett reliever Jackson Stephens allowed one run to make it 5-4 in favor of Charlotte which would hold as the final.
(44-51) Gwinnett Stripers 0, (43-49) Charlotte Knights 2 (GAME 2)
Nacho Alvarez Jr., 3B: 2-3, BB
Forrest Wall, LF: 2-4
Zach Logue, SP: 4 IP, 2 K
Box Score
Game two on the day for Gwinnett didn’t go much better compared to game one, as the Stripers were held scoreless in the 2-0 loss.
While limited to just six hits on the day, the Stripers actually managed to put a pair of runners in scoring position in the top of the first inning. However, Gwinnett failed to bring either home.
From that point forward, offense was tough to come by as both teams were held scoreless headed into the top of the seventh inning. Braves starter Zach Logue held his own as he held Charlotte scoreless and hitless across four innings of work.
Despite this, the Stripers offense was equally as quiet as the Knights plated 2 runs in the top of the seventh inning which would hold on as the final to sweep Gwinnett on the day.
(42-46) Mississippi Braves 5, (49-39) Pensacola Blue Wahoos 1
KeShawn Ogans, 3B: 3-4, RBI, R
Sebastian Rivero, C: 2-4, 2 RBI, R
Lucas Braun, SP: 6 IP, H, 4 BB, 5 K
Box Score
Mississippi got an excellent start from Lucas Braun and an overall solid day at the plate en route to a win over Pensacola on Saturday night.
While Braun was dominating — holding the Blue Wahoos scoreless across six innings of work while striking out five — the Braves offense was stifled at the same time. After being held scoreless for three innings, Mississippi finally score in the top of the fourth inning.
Justin Dean reached on an error to kick things off in the frame before a Cal Conley single moved him up to third. A Yolbert Sanchez sac fly scored Dean to make it a 1-0 Mississippi lead.
The Braves added on to their lead in the top of the sixth as KeShawn Ogans would single to score Dean to make it a 2-0 Braves advantage.
Mississippi would continue to pour it on by scoring three more times in the final frame. In the top of the ninth, Ogans led off with a single and stole second base. After Cody Milligan singled to move Ogans up to third, Sebastian Rivero singled into right field to plate both Ogans and Milligan, extending the Mississippi lead to 4-0. The final run for the Braves would come on a Bradon Parker double that scored Rivero to make it a 5-0 game.
While Pensacola would score one run in the home half of the ninth, the Braves would ultimately hold on for the victory.

The Renegades jumped out to an early lead scoring once in the home half of the second, making it a 1-0 game. After being held scoreless for the first two innings, Rome finally got on the scoreboard in the top of the third.
Nick Ward and Dawson Dimon laced back-to-back singles to open up the inning before a Kevin Kilpatrick Jr. groundout brought Ward home to tie things up at 1-1. Two batters later, Ethan Workinger brought Dimon across on a sac fly to make it a 2-1 game in Rome’s favor.
Hudson Valley tied things up in the bottom of the third inning, scoring one run off Emperors starter Luis Vargas to make it a 2-2 game.
For the next six innings, things were quiet on offense for both teams, as the game headed to extra innings knotted up at 2-2. In the top of the 10th, Rome took the lead as Dimon scored on a Kevin Kilpatrick Jr. single to give the Emperors the 3-2 lead. However, the Renegades got that run back in the home half to send the game to an 11th frame.
With one out in the top of the 11th, Drew Compton doubled home Sabin Ceballos to give the Emperors a 4-3 lead as Ryan Bourassa came on to slam the door and give the Emperors the win.
(36-50) Augusta GreenJackets 0, (51-37) Kannapolis Cannon Ballers 4 (SUSPENDED)
Davis Polo, SP: 2 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 3 K
Box Score
There wasn’t much to write home about in this one, as Augusta’s game was suspended in the top of the third inning due to weather. However, across the two innings that had been played, Kannapolis tagged GreenJacket starter Davis Polo for four runs — two earned — to mount a 4-0 lead.
Meanwhile, Augusta was held hitless over the first two frames before Mother Nature stepped in to take over.
The game will resume on Sunday, July 21.
