Charlotte played host to Gwinnett at BB&T Stadium.

Charlotte designated hitter Raúl Ruíz played a vital role in his team's 3-2 triumph over Gwinnett. He was 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for Charlotte. Steve Ash picked up the win in relief for Charlotte, while Dan Hicks took the loss. Earning the save was José Gonzáles. He's now cashed in 7 of 7 save opportunities.

Ruíz contributed in the bottom of the third. With a runner on 1st, he hit a 2-run home run. It was one at-bat among others that helped Charlotte get the win.

"This was a tough loss," said Gwinnett manager Jason Bourgeois. "It'll stick in my craw for a while."

The Knights go to 57-85 with the win.
