Ronald Acuna drove in Ozzie Albies with a double in the 10th inning to give the Gwinnett Braves a 3-2 road win over the Lehigh Valley IronPigs Thursday night.

Albies had three hits, two of them doubles, scored two runs, and raised his average to .286.

Gwinnett starter Lucas Sims allowed five hits and two earned runs in five innings. He did not get a decision after striking out eight and walking three.

Acuna played left field and went 1-for-5. He is hitting .263.

Shortstop Dansby Swanson, demoted earlier in the day by the big-league Braves, is expected to suit up for Gwinnett for the first time Friday night.
