Tucker Davidson earned his second win of the season as the Gwinnett Stripers defeated the Louisville Bats 5-0 at home Wednesday.

Davidson (2-0) pitched seven innings and holds a 0.64 ERA through his two starts for the Stripers (6-2).

Ryan Goins led the Stripers offense, going 3-for-4 with a double and three RBIs.
