Aiven Cabral, an 18th-round pick, anchors Augusta’s pitching staff and delivers reliable innings as a reliever. He has recorded the win in six of seven starts this season. Augusta’s offense produced a major surge led by Tate Southisene, who collected two hits and five stolen bases, reaching 12 stolen bases over his last eight games. In Gwinnett’s game against Charlotte, Austin Gomber struggled by allowing multiple home runs, including back-to-back homers that cleared the bullpen. Charlotte built a 5-0 lead with additional long balls in the fifth inning. Gwinnett’s bullpen performed better, with Javy Guerra and Rolddy Munoz combining for four scoreless frames, and Munoz generating weak contact using his slider.
"Even as a reliever he has been the player they can rely on for consistent innings, and so far he has recorded the win in six of his seven starts this season. Augusta had a big offensive explosion led by two hits and five stolen bases from Tate Southisene, who has 12 stolen bases in his last eight games."
"The Stripers trailed for most of this game, and Austin Gomber could not stop giving up home runs to the Charlotte Knights. A Jacob Gonzalez long ball off of the CoolRay Field berm opened up the scoring for the game in the second inning, and piece-by-piece the Knights kept putting up runs by putting balls over the wall."
"Gomber allowed the only non-home run run off of a Braden Montgomery double the next inning, then went right back to giving up nukes. The Knights went back-to-back off of Gomber in the next inning, the latter of those home runs full clearing the bullpen and sailing into the apartments."
"The Gwinnett bullpen had loads more success than Gomber and split four scoreless frames between Javy Guerra and Rolddy Munoz, and Munoz had a strong day on the mound. He was able to throw tons of strikes and the Knights were having trouble with his slider, and though he only struck out one batter he got tons of weak contact and stayed ahead in the count."
