Lucas Sims fans 11 in second Gwinnett start

By Staff

After a mediocre Triple-A debut for Gwinnett on Saturday, Lucas Sims made a strong second start Thursday afternoon.

Sims allowed one run in seven innings, but more impressive were the 11 strikeouts he recorded. He gave up five hits and walked two. The G-Braves won 4-3 in 15 innings at Toledo.

Sims was plagued by a lack of run support this season at Double-A Mississippi, where he was 0-2 with a 1.84 ERA before his promotion to Gwinnett. That has continued somewhat at Gwinnett.

On Saturday, Sims allowed two runs in five innings of a 7-1 loss at Columbus.

For the season, Sims is 0-1 with a 2.25 ERA. In 12 innings, he has allowed eight hits and walked six, but he has recorded 16 strikeouts.

Sims was a first-round draft choice of the Braves in 2012 out of Brookwood High School.
