DURHAM, N.C. - The Gwinnett Stripers (8-9) scored three runs in the top of the seventh inning and held on to defeat the Durham Bulls (6-10) by a 7-6 score on Sunday at Durham Bulls Athletic Park. Gwinnett avoided the three-game sweep and snapped a five-game losing streak with the win.
Scoring Recap: Durham scored six runs over the first two innings off rehabbing Mike Foltynewicz, but the Stripers answered back with two-run home runs from both Alex Jackson (1) and Adam Duvall (2) off Andrew Moore to make it 6-4 through four innings. In the seventh, Gwinnett pulled ahead 7-6 as Jack Lopez ripped an RBI single, Andrés Blanco laced a game-tying RBI double, and a throwing error from right fielder Jake Smolinski allowed Lopez to score the go-ahead run.

He walked two and struck out two in a no-decision. Andres Santiago (W, 1-1) tossed 2.1 scoreless, one-hit innings and struck out two, and Thomas Burrows (S, 3) struck out two over 1.1 innings to hold the lead. Jackson and Duvall each went 1-for-4 with a homer and two RBIs. Ryan LaMarre went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored.
