Brooks Conrad hit his 10th home run of the year and Gregor Blanco drove in two runs as the Gwinnett Braves continued their second-half surge with a 7-2 victory over visiting Lehigh Valley Monday night.
The victory gave the G-Braves three wins in a four-game series with the IronPigs and provided Gwinnett’s eighth win in nine games.
Gwinnett remained one game behind division-leading Durham in the Class AAA International League South standings.
