APRIL 22nd GWINNETT (5-8) at PAWTUCKET (7-6) 1:35 pm

Gwinnett Braves LHP Luis Gohra (NR) vs. RHP William Cuevas (1-0, 4.35)

Sweep Dreams - The Pawtucket Red Sox and the Gwinnett Stripers (AAA-) play the finale of their 3-game weekend series this afternoon at 1:35 pm at McCoy Stadium. The PawSox have taken the first two games of the series the past two nights beginning with a 5-4, 11-inning victory in the series opener on Friday night and then last night a 6-0 blanking of the Stripers. This is the second straight series the Sox have won the first two games and go into the finale with the chance for a 3-game sweep. They did so earlier this week in Columbus…winning the first two games, 9-6 & 4-3 before failing in their bid for a sweep with a 2-0 loss in the finale on Wednesday. A victory today would mark Pawtucket’s first series sweep since last August 7-9 when the Sox swept a 3-game set vs. Charlotte here at McCoy.

Better Than Even – Pawtucket has won 4 of their last 5 games to move over the .500 mark at 7-6 for the first time in 2018 - and for the first time since last July 30 when they were 54-53. A victory today would give them their first 3-game winning streak since they put together a 5-game winning streak last August 7-11.

This Homestand – This 7-game homestand (in 6-days) runs through Wednesday at McCoy. The homestand continues tomorrow when the (AAA-Detroit), owners of the best record in the league at 11-3, visit for what will now be a 4-game series in 3-nights. Tomorrow (Monday) will be a make-up (from last Sunday’s rainout in Toledo) beginning at 4:35 pm with the PawSox the home team in the opener and Toledo the “home team” in the nightcap. The Sox and Hens will play single games on Tuesday & Wednesday nights (both at 6:15 pm) to conclude Pawtucket’s second homestand of the year.

So Far - The Sox (currently 2-0 on this 7-game homestand) went 2-3 on their first homestand – splitting an abbreviated 2-game set vs. Lehigh Valley and then dropping 2 of 3 to Buffalo. The PawSox recently finished 3-3 during their annual Ohio roadtrip – losing 2 of 3 during an abbreviated series in Toledo but winning 2 of 3 in Columbus earlier this week.

Throwing Strikes – Pawtucket lead the with 154 as they have posted games of 20 (April 9), 18 (last night), 15, 14 (twice), 13, 11 (twice), and 10 (twice) already this season. Furthermore, they have reached figures in strikeouts in six consecutive games since last Saturday in Toledo.

Getting the Best of Gwinnett – Pawtucket has now won 27 of their last 39 games vs. Gwinnett overall dating back to the 2012 season. The PawSox won the final five games vs. the Braves during the 2012 season (finishing 6-2) and the first five meetings of the 2013 season (also finishing 6-2) to compile a 10-game winning streak against Gwinnett. The Sox were 5-3 vs. the Braves in 2014, 4-2 vs. Gwinnett in 2015, 3-2 vs. the G-Braves in 2016, 2-4 in 2017, and 2-0 in 2018. Prior to 2017, Gwinnett had had just one winning season vs. the PawSox (6-2 in 2009) since moving from Richmond that year.

The 2017 Season-Series vs. Gwinnett – The PawSox finished 2-4 vs. Gwinnett last season (going 2-2 here in Pawtucket but 0-2 in Lawrenceville, GA). Almost exactly one year ago (April 21-23) the clubs played an abbreviated series at Gwinnett with the then- Braves winning the first two games, 3-2 and 5-2. The finale on April 23 in was rained out. Less than a week later the clubs met at McCoy. The PawSox rolled in the opener on April 28, 10-1. Gwinnett swept the make-up doubleheader the next night (necessitated by the rainout in Georgia) by scores of 2-1 and 3-1 (in 9-innings). The Sox gained the split awith a 2-0 victory in the series and season-finale last April 30 at McCoy. The teams will meet 6 times this season…these three at McCoy and then three more at Gwinnett from July 20-22.
