Chris Ellis turned in his second consecutive rain-shortened complete game effort, working five scoreless innings for his first career Triple-A win as the Gwinett Braves beat the host Charlotte Knights 6-0 Friday night.

Ellis (1-3) allowed three hits and one walk while striking out three.

Ronnier Mustelier hit two home runs and Reid Brignac and Mel Rojas Jr. also hit homers for Gwinnett (41-48).

Mustelier went 2-for-3 with his third career two-homer game and three RBIs for Gwinnett. Rojas Jr. homered for the third time in two games on the series and finished 1-for-3 with two RBIs. Brignac went 2-for-3 with a homer, two runs scored and one RBI.

The G-Braves have won four in a row and lead the International League South Division by a game and a half over the Knights.
