Firebirds Get One-Run Win at Norfolk
The Gwinnett Firebirds wanted a good start from Gilberto Valéncia -- and he delivered one. The result was a 2-1 Gwinnett win over the Norfolk Tides at Harbor Park. Valéncia got the win, improving to 8-5. He gave up 5 hits and walked 2 over 6 innings. He allowed 1 run. Picking up the save was T.J. Crane. He's now 13 for 15 in save chances.

Jesús Ibarra, who is tied for 3rd in the IL with a .494 slugging percentage, had a direct impact on the outcome. Ibarra contributed a run-scoring ground out in the top of the fifth inning to put Gwinnett up, 2-1.

"Runs were at a premium," said Gwinnett manager Jason Bourgeois.

Gwinnett raised its record to 83-51 with the win.
