PEARL, MS - LHP Dylan Dodd dominated in six scoreless innings for his Double-A debut, and the Mississippi Braves (43-44, 14-4) swept the Rocket City Trash Pandas (50-37, 9-9) 4-3 on Sunday afternoon at Trustmark Park.

After the Trash Pandas took their first lead, 3-2, in the eighth, Hendrik Clementina smoked a two-run single into left field to retake the lead. RHP Odalvi Javier then punched out Anthony Mulrine in a 1-2-3 ninth to win it.

Clementina went 3-for-4 with three singles and two RBI.

The M-Braves completed their first six-game sweep in club history and have won 14 of their last 16 games. The club is an MiLB-best 13-2 in July.

Dodd, Atlanta's No. 20 prospect, made his Double-A debut. The left-hander tossed six shutout innings, allowing just one hit with seven strikeouts.

Atlanta promoted Dodd from High-A Rome on Tuesday, July 12. He posted a 9-5 record with a 3.44 ERA in 16 starts over 91 innings for Rome.

In the second, Andrew Moritz looped a single into left field to score Drew Lugbauer for the first run of the game.

The M-Braves brought in another run on a sacrifice fly from Cody Milligan in the fifth to extend their lead to 2-0.

The Trash Pandas scored three runs in the eighth to take a 3-2 lead. Jordyn Adams, Ryan Aguilar and Jose Gomez recorded three straight RBI in the inning.

In the bottom of the inning, Lugbauer and Yariel Gonzalez started the frame with base hits. Trey Harris came in to pinch hit and was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Clementina then punched a grounder through the left side to score two runs and retake the lead 4-3.

The M-Braves are off from July 18-21 due to the All-Star break around baseball. The club returns to action on July 22 against the Montgomery Biscuits for a three-game road series to start a nine-game road trip. The M-Braves are back at Trustmark Park on August 2 for a six-game home series against the Biloxi Shuckers.
