A lengthy rain delay at the start of Thursday’s game didn’t cool down Cody Johnson and the Braves.
Johnson hit a pair of homers, including a grand slam, and drove in a season-high six runs to help the Braves roll to a 12-9 win over the Charleston RiverDogs in the second game of a four-game set in South Carolina.
It was the third straight win for the Braves, who improved to 5-1 on this eight-game road trip. They have won seven of their last nine overall, but trail the first-place Augusta GreenJackets by six games with 23 games left in the season.
Johnson homered in each of his first two at-bats, helping Rome build a 7-0 lead in the second inning. Johnson has gone 10-for-32 with four homers and 10 RBIs in seven games since returning from the disabled list.
Edgar Osuna (7-4) was charged with three runs, two earned, on six hits in six innings. He struck out nine.
Catcher Matt Kennelly had two hits, raising his average to .457.
