How the winning run scored: Leandro Castro's two-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning showed Lehigh Valley to a come-from-behind win Monday night in Allentown, Pa. Gwinnett reliever Matt Egan blew his first save in four chances since being called up from Double-A Mississippi on May 18.
At the plate: Jose Constanza singled with two outs in the top of the ninth inning, scoring Matt Pagnozzi from third for a 3-2 G-Braves lead. Gwinnett outfielder Joey Terdoslavich tied the game with a solo home run in the eighth, his second homer in as many games.
On the mound: G-Braves starter Johan Flande continued his string of strong performances, giving up two runs in six innings. Flande has allowed just three earned runs in his last 16 2/3 innings.
Up next for Gwinnett: The G-Braves return to Coolray Field to open a four-game series with Rochester on Tuesday. Gwinnett's Sean Gilmartin (3-4, 4.26) faces Kyle Gibson (4-5, 3.38) at 7:05 p.m.
