Tyrell Jenkins allowed just one hit in six innings as the Gwinnett Braves defeated the Norfolk Tides 2-0 on Wednesday night at Coolray Field.
Jenkins (8-3) gave up a two-out single to Corban Joseph in the first inning.
He worked around a career-high seven walks while striking out four in a 102-pitch, 53-strike outing.
Gwinnett is 63-75. The victory, combined with Charlotte’s 2-1 loss in Louisville on Wednesday night, increased the G-Braves’ first-place lead in the International League South Division to 1 1/2 games with five to play.
