LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. – Johan Camargo finished a triple shy of the cycle as the Gwinnett Stripers (26-33) earned their third win in the last four games, 8-4, over the Nashville Sounds (36-22) on Saturday night at Coolray Field.

Decisive Play: After belting a solo home run (7) in the first inning and lacing an RBI double in the fifth, Camargo hit an RBI single off Chad Sobotka to score Cristian Pache for a 5-0 lead in the seventh. The Stripers added three more insurance runs in the inning to make it 8-0.

Key Contributors: Camargo (3-for-5, 3 RBIs) and Terrance Gore (3-for-3) were two of five Stripers to post multi-hit games. Jaseeel De La Cruz (W, 1-2) tossed 3.0 scoreless innings in relief for his first Triple-A win. Starter Jose Rodriguez allowed just one hit over 4.0 scoreless innings while striking out five.

Noteworthy: Camargo has hit safely in 21 of 27 games since June 10, batting .337 with nine doubles, a triple, four homers, and 14 RBIs. With Gore’s three-hit performance, he is now batting .364 (8-for-22) with two doubles and 13 stolen bases this season. Pache has four consecutive multi-hit efforts, batting .533 (8-for-15, HR, 3 RBI) in that span.
