Emilio Bonifacio was 2-for-3 with two runs scored and his International League-leading 23rd stolen base as the Gwinnett Braves beat host Scranton/Wilkes-Barre 7-1 Friday night.

Former Atlanta Braves player Nick Swisher went 2-for-4 for the Rail Riders.

The G-Braves (31-37) ended a three-game losing streak.

Manny Banuelos, in his fifth start for Gwinnett, worked four innings, allowing four hits and one unearned run. He walked three and struck out two.

Former Gwinnett and Atlanta Braves pitcher Chasen Shreve pitched an inning, striking out three, on a rehab assignment for the New York Yankees.
