Gwinnett starter Jonny Venters (1-3) earned his first win of the season after allowing just five hits in seven-plus innings. Norfolk scored its lone run in the eighth when Steve Torrealba led off the frame with a double and moved to third on a single by Melvin Dorta before coming into score on a double play grounder by Chad Moeller.
