The Braves’ No. 7 prospect Darius Vines threw 5-1/3 scoreless innings to lead the Gwinnett Stripers to a 6-0 win over the Indianapolis Indians on Wednesday night in Triple-A baseball at Coolray Field in Lawrenceville.

A two-run triple from Braden Shewmake broke a scoreless tie in the fourth inning and gave the Stripers a 2-0 lead. Gwinnett expanded the lead to 6-0 in the seventh inning with run-scoring hits from Dalton Guthrie and Vaughn Grissom, while Shewmake drove in another run with a sacrifice fly.

The Stripers are 46-57.

Vines allowed four hits, walked three and struck out five. It was his second Triple-A start of the year. Vines picked up his first win at any level since September 10, 2022 with Gwinnett at Buffalo.

With his RBI-single in the seventh inning, Grissom increased his team-best on-base streak to 27 games. He is hitting .316.
