Braves Minor League Recap: AJ Smith-Shawver roughed up as slow start continues
Briefly

AJ Smith-Shawver's start to the 2024 season continues to be rather rough, as the 21-year-old was tagged for three earned runs across just 2.1 innings in his start on Wednesday morning. Things got off to a promising start for Gwinnett as J.P. Martinez doubled in the first at-bat of the game and was later brought home on a Leury Garcia sac fly to make it 1-0 Stripers in the first inning.
After working around a leadoff single in the bottom of the first inning, Smith-Shawver allowed Omaha to tie the game up in the bottom of the second as the Storm Chasers launched a solo homer to make it 1-1. Omaha tacked on two more runs in the bottom of the third, chasing Smith-Shawver en route to a 3-1 lead.
