JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp blanked the Sugar Land Space Cowboys 2-0 Sunday afternoon at VyStar Ballpark behind an impressive pitching performance from starter Braxton Garrett and the bullpen.

Miguel Ullola (L, 1-1) earned the loss for Sugar Land (6-3) while allowing just one run through four frames on three walks and eight punchouts.

Jacksonville plated both its runs in the bottom of the fifth after Jared Serna led off the inning with a walk, Ethan O'Donnell singled and Matthew Etzel pulled a single to right field to plate Serna. One batter later, Deyvison De Los Santos brought in O'Donnell on an infield single to push the score to 2-0.
