Durham 0, Gwinnett 4

Lets not pretend this will be about anyone other than Kris Medlen. Kris laughs at the crap that Tommy Hanson throws out there every 5 days. Medlen improves to 5-0 on the season and is really unmatched in performances this season except for maybe Johan, Greinke and Boston's Michael Bowden (for AAA Pawtucket). He has only allowed 29 base runners this season and has 44 strike outs in 37.1 innings. What are we going to do with this guy? Him and Hanson both pose interesting problems for the Braves that almost certainly must be addressed by this coming offseason.

- J.C. Boscan 2-4 2B, 2 RBI, K
Definitely an interesting game here from Travis Jones who has been really hot lately. At least at the plate. He is hitting .500 in his last 10 games. But tonight he might have cost the team more when he was away from the dish getting thrown out 3 times on the base paths and making an error that lead to a run. In the end it didn't cause the team to lose the game, but man that is a lot of outs to give up.

Rome gets its second highest scoring game of the season and they apparently needed all of them as the bullpen leaked a little late. Kimbrel gave up runs for his second straight outing and doesn't seem to have it all figured out yet. J.J. Hoover has been said to be a diamond in the rough find for the Braves and could end up being our best arm out of last year's draft class. Rodriguez had a nice game with a grand slam in the 6th that put the Braves up permanently.
