Suns Spill Braves, 7-2
Joe McGough had a strong outing for the Hagerstown Suns against the Rome Braves at State Mutual Stadium. The right-hander was a big part of his team's 7-2 win. McGough got the win, improving to 1-1. He gave up 8 hits and walked 1 over 7.1 innings. He allowed no runs. The Braves, now 7-15, continue their sluggish start.

Damian Holmes had a big solo home run for the Suns in the top of the fourth inning. With Hagerstown leading 1-0 and the bases empty, he sized up a changeup from 21-year old right-handed pitcher Harley Kniffen and punished it. The result was his 1st home run of the season, which put the Suns on top, 2-0.

"Winning the game is always the first objective," Holmes said.
