Schmidt spun seven innings for the third time this season and limited the Braves to only four hits. The left-hander faced a runners at first and third, nobody out jam in the bottom of the seventh inning but he navigated his way through it brilliantly. The defense was there to back him up all night. Colten struck out six and earned his third win of the season.

The two teams wrap up their series at State Mutual Stadium on Sunday afternoon with the first pitch scheduled for 2:00pm.
