Bryce Elder carries no-hitter into the sixth, while CJ Alexander homers again
Instead of the normal Monday off-day, both Triple-A Gwinnett and Double-A Mississippi played games yesterday. The two-game slate wound up featuring some excitement too, as the Stripers received a gem from its starting pitcher and the M-Braves continued to hit the ball well. Here’s a look at the action from Monday down on the Braves…

CJ Alexander stays hot; M-Braves win fourth in a row (scores/stats only)

M-Braves break out with historic offensive performance; Hendrick Clementina tallies 5 hits
Some big news came across the wire this morning as it’s been reported that the Atlanta Braves have called up prospect outfielder Michael Harris II. Harris will make the unusual jump from Double-A to the majors, and the kid will wear no. 23 with Atlanta. Many of us suspected that Harris would earn some kind…

It’s happening, the Atlanta Braves have called up prospect Michael Harris II
Count me as one who was totally wrong about the plans of the major league club (trust me, it happens often). Prospect outfielder Michael Harris II is headed to Atlanta, where he’ll wear no. 23 for the big league team after putting together an amazing performance in Double-A. The surprising promotion (for some of us)…

Alan Rangel and Luis De Avila both shove; Brandol Mezquita extends on-base streak to 31
The Atlanta Braves nearly spoiled another potential win late in the game on Tuesday night. Up 4-3 against Philly in the top-half of the ninth, Bryce Harper homered to center to put the Phillies up by one, and once again it looked like another disappointing loss was coming. But surprisingly, the Braves answered in the…

Augusta snaps losing streak; Vaughn Grissom tallies 3 hits and steals home
The Braves already clinched a series victory against the Marlins back on Saturday, but it sure would’ve been nice to string a few wins together with another W in its rubber game on Sunday. However, a messy outing for Ian Anderson (4 ER) and a dominant complete-game by Miami’s Sandy Alcantara didn’t allow that to…

Gwinnett wins fourth in a row, while Michael Harris does it all in M-Braves victory
It seems like its been awhile, but on Saturday the Braves won its second series of the month, beating the Marlins 4-3 thanks to a pair of home runs from William Contreras and a solid five-inning start by righty Kyle Wright. It’s pretty crazy, Contreras has played in just 10 games this season… but already…

Darius Vines pitches a beauty for the M-Braves, while Rome slugs 3 HR in shutout win
The Braves jumped out to a 4-0 lead on Friday against the Marlins, and the team actually maintained that lead throughout the entire game, ending it with a 5-3 win. Hopefully Atlanta can keep it up as its hottest starting pitcher takes the mound on Saturday in righty Kyle Wright. Down on the farm there…

Could this be Michael Harris’ last week in Double-A?
Perhaps the most popular storyline within the Atlanta Braves minor league system so far this season has been one that we probably all saw coming. Either way, though, it has to be the amazing play of prospect outfielder Michael Harris II. Coming into the campaign as a bonafide top-tier prospect in the organization, the 21-year-old…

Bryce Elder K’s 11 to snap Gwinnett losing streak, while M-Braves win a comeback
Despite taking a 4-0 lead in the third inning, the Braves dropped another game it should’ve won on Wednesday against the Brewers. These type of losses are beginning to pile up, as Atlanta continues to give away wins. Overall, it was a nice night on the Braves farm, though. Three of four affiliates won its…
