Sunday wrapped up Week 3 of the minor league season and marked the first day that the Braves were swept down on the farm. It’s weird; while the big league Braves wound up outscoring the Pirates 33-3 in the series’ final three games this past weekend, offense in the minors has been nearly non-existent.
