LAWRENCEVILLE, GA - The Gwinnett Braves will be back at Coolray Field on Monday, August 3 to begin a seven-game homestand that includes several unique promotions. The G-Braves will play the Rochester Red Wings, the Triple-A affiliate of the Minnesota Twins, for four games from August 3-6 before a three-game series with the Buffalo Bisons, the Triple-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, from August 7-9.
