Sunday had just one game in the Atlanta Braves system, where we got to see catching prospect Drake Baldwin homer for the second day in a row. He was joined in the homer column by Eddie Rosario, who didn’t take long to leave the yard after rejoining the organization.
St. Paul Saints 4, Gwinnett Stripers 3
- Nacho Alvarez, SS: 1-3, 2 BB, SB, .348/.437/.573

- Hayden Harris, RP: 0.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K, 9.82 ERA
Drew Parrish got the start and turned in five solid innings, allowing a pair of runs on three hits and three walks over those five innings of work. He was followed by Brooks Wilson, who allowed a pair of solo homers during his inning and a third, getting credited with the loss. Hayden Harris came in and faced two batters, striking out four and picking up four swings and misses. Domingo Gonzalez pitched a clean inning to finish this one off for the Stripers pitching staff.
The star of the day had to be Drake Baldwin, who hit a 441 foot homer – his second in two days and fifth since reaching Gwinnett, during a two for five day. Eddie Rosario also homered for the first time after rejoining the organization this week, while Nacho Alvarez reached base three times (1-3, 2 BB) and stole a base in the loss. JP Martinez also had a good game, going two for three with a walk and recording a double.
