Gwinnett Stripers News Release


CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The veteran lineup of the Gwinnett Stripers (27-45) scored early and often against Chicago White Sox' No. 1 prospect Noah Schultz, handing the 21-year-old six earned runs and a defeat in an 8-1 win over the Charlotte Knights (35-37) on Thursday night at Truist Field. Gwinnett is now 1-5 in Charlotte this season.

Scoring Recap: Gwinnett fell behind 1-0 on a solo home run by Joshua Palacios (1) in the first inning but quickly tied it at 1-1 on an RBI single by Eddys Leonard in the second. In the fourth, a three-run frame highlighted by an RBI double from James McCann and sacrifice fly by Leonard gave the Stripers a 4-1 edge. Sandy Leon's towering solo homer (6) to left field in the fifth and an RBI single by Jose Devers in the sixth extended it to 6-1. Jurickson Profar put the game out of reach with a two-run double in the eighth, making it 8-1.

Key Contributors: Davis Daniel (W, 4-5) cruised through 5.2 innings for the win, allowing just one run on five hits (4 BB, 6 SO). Michael Petersen (2.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 SO) and Wander Suero (1.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 SO) finished out the game. Profar (1-for-5, double, 2 RBIs) and Leonard (2-for-4, 2 RBIs) each had multi-RBI games, while Carlos Rodriguez (3-for-5, run) and McCann (3-for-5, double, 2 runs, RBI) had three-hit efforts. Schultz (L, 0-1) allowed six runs on eight hits over 5.1 innings in his Triple-A debut for Charlotte.

Noteworthy: The Stripers are now 16-6 (.727) when scoring at least five runs this season. Suero extended his scoreless innings streak to 12.0 over his last 12 appearances. Rodriguez's team-leading 14th multi-hit effort raised his average to a team-best .303. McCann is the first Gwinnett player to reach the 30-RBI mark this year.
