Braves pitching prospect Tucker Davidson struck out nine in six innings but he also allowed four earned runs and the host Gwinnett Stripers (12-14) lost to the Charlotte Knights 9-6 in Triple-A play Wednesday night.
Davidson gave up four hits and walked three.
Former Braves outfielder Alex Dickerson was the designated hitter for Gwinnett and went 0-for-4, dropping his average to .200 in three games since being designated for assignment by the big-league club when Ronald Acuna Jr. was activated.
