Game #14 – April 13 – Knights Field

The Knights drew 1st blood when Danny Santana drew a bases loaded walk in the bottom of the 1st. Atlanta tied it in the 3rd when Matt Olson doubled, Austin Riley singled, and Olson scored on a 6-4-3 double play by Dansby Swanson. Wilson Ramos smashed his 1st HR of the year to give Charlotte the 2-1 lead in the 6th.

John Means was simply outstanding. He pitched 7 innings, allowing 3 hits, striking out 7, and walking 0 as he improved to 2-0. A. J. Puk pitched the 9th to earn his 6th save.

After the game, the Knights claimed Miami pitcher Braxton Garrett off waivers. Garrett will join the Charlotte rotation. The Knights DFA'd Bryson Brigham and optioned Shawn Dubin to AAA to open a roster spot for Garrett.
