Wilson, Greene struggle as Gwinnett loses to Jumbo Shrimp

Starter Bryse Wilson allowed five earned runs and got the loss as the Gwinnett Stripers fell 6-2 to the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp in Lawrenceville Thursday night.

Wilson gave up six hits and walked four (with six strikeouts) in five innings in the Triple-A game.

Braves reliever Shane Greene allowed the other Jumbo Shrimp run. He gave up two hits and a walk in one inning. It was the first time he’s allowed a run in four outings.
