Gwinnett Braves down Mud Hens 4-2

Toledo's designated hitter Mike Cervenak singles against Gwinnett during the sixth inning.

Gwinnett took advantage of the wildness of the Mud Hens to claim a 4-2 victory at Fifth Third Field today.

The Braves won the game with a three-run eighth fueled by Jose Ortega's struggles to throw strikes. The Toledo reliever gave up a double before hitting a batter, then issuing three straight walks to force home two runs.
