JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Edward Cabrera struck out 11 batters in six innings and the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp brought the tying run to the plate in the ninth but ultimately fell short to the Durham Bulls 5-1 Friday night at 121 Financial Ballpark.

Durham (19-21) took the early lead in the top of the first and never looked back. Miles Mastrobuoni (3) led off the game with a solo home run against Cabrera (L, 1-2).

The Bulls added one run to their total in the top of the fourth. Jonathan Aranda led off with a single and two batters later went to third on a single by Ford Proctor. During the at-bat of Jim Haley, a passed ball allowed Aranda to score as Durham took a 2-0 lead.

Tristan Gray (10) led off the fifth inning with a solo home run as Durham padded their lead to 3-0.

Cabrera dazzled in his fifth appearance with the Jumbo Shrimp. He finished with a season-high six innings pitched and he struck out eight of the nine Bulls in the lineup, totaling 11 for a season-high. Of the three runs, only two were earned and he issued just one walk. In total, he threw 101 pitches and 73 were for strikes.

After a strikeout, Joe Hudson drove in a pair with a single to push the Bulls' lead to 5-0.
