Mallex Smith leads Gwinnett Braves to win

The G-Braves have one more win than the A-Braves.

And perhaps not coincidentally because the Gwinnett Braves have Mallex Smith.

Smith also had a double and scored both of Gwinnett's runs. He was 2-for-5 at the plate.

Chacin pitched 7 2/3 shutout innings, allowing five hits. He had seven strikeouts and two walks.

Reid Brignac had an RBI hit for the Braves.

Right-hander Mike Foltynewicz starts for Gwinnett Friday night.
