The Braves scored three runs in the third inning to build an early lead, and then used another three-run rally in the seventh to secure the win and improve to 3-0 since the All-Star break.
Who did what for Rome: The Braves offense banged out 14 hits, with newcomer Chase Anselment going 3-for-4 with a solo homer. Elmer Reyes also had three hits and scored two runs, and Tony Mueller added two hits and and two RBIs. Will Skinner hit his sixth homer of the season and finished 2-for-5 with two RBIs.
On the mound: Ryan Weber (3-3) pitched five innings, allowing two runs (both earned) on four hits with three walks and two strikeouts. Three Rome relievers — David Peterson, Wilson Rivera and Matt Talley — combined to limit Asheville to one run over the final four innings.
Next Game: Looking to notch their first four-game winning streak of the season, the Braves play the Tourists today at 2:05 in the series
