What a night for the Rome Emperors! It's not every day you see two teammates each hit a home run and a pair of doubles in the same game, but that's exactly what Eric Hartman and Isaiah Drake delivered on Friday. Their explosive performances powered Rome to a big win, showcasing the kind of raw talent that makes minor league baseball so exciting.

Meanwhile, up in Gwinnett, Owen Murphy turned in a gem in game one of Friday's doubleheader. The young right-hander dominated over 5.2 innings, allowing just one run on four hits while striking out six. After a rocky first Triple-A start where he gave up five runs in four innings, this was a statement bounce-back performance. According to reports, Murphy's fastball sat consistently at 91-93 MPH with impressive induced vertical break—a sign that his stuff is translating well to the higher level.

The Stripers' offense gave Murphy plenty of support, piling up nine runs on 11 hits. Jair Camargo had a monster game, homering and doubling twice while driving in two runs and scoring twice himself. Brewer Hicklen also got in on the action with a three-run homer, and Rowdy Tellez chipped in by going 3-for-4 with a double and two RBIs.

Game two of the doubleheader was a tighter affair, with Gwinnett falling short in a 3-2 nail-biter. Javy Guerra opened the game and held his own, tossing three innings of one-run ball with three strikeouts. But the offense struggled to find its rhythm, managing just two runs on seven hits.

The bright spot? Brewer Hicklen stayed red-hot, launching another home run—his second of the day across both games—and adding two RBIs and a sacrifice fly. Nacho Alvarez Jr. also had a solid night at the plate, going 3-for-4 in a much-needed bounce-back after a slow start to the 2026 season.

From dominant pitching to explosive bats, it was a night full of highlights across the Braves' minor league system—and a reminder that the future is bright in Atlanta.
