The offense came alive early, plating three runs in the second inning against Braves starter, Jose Suarez.

Right-handed hitters, Jacob Wilson and Andy Ibanez did the heavy lifting, with Wilson ripping a two-run double from the lead-off spot and Ibanez driving, and two more with a pair of singles.

Shay Langeleers kept the momentum going with a solo homer in the fifth, his fourth of the year, which ties him for the Major League lead and matches.
