LAST GAME: Jacksonville, Fla. - The Jackson Generals, the Double-A affiliate of Major League Baseball's Arizona Diamondbacks, struggled against Jacksonville right-hander Cody Poteet (1-0, 0.00 ERA) and the Jumbo Shrimp (3-2) on Monday, ceding a 5-1 result at The Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville. The loss sends the defending champion Generals (2-3) to their first series defeat since August 6 of last season. In his Generals debut, right-hander Riley Smith (0-1, 11.25 ERA) got swamped in the second inning, as a leadoff walk and a double set the table for a big Jacksonville inning. Smith allowed five runs in total over four innings, his shortest start since 2017. Jamie Westbrook kept Jackson from being shut out by belting his first homer of the year in the ninth inning.

TODAY'S PITCHING MATCHUP: Jackson RHP Bo Takahashi (0-0, 0.00 ERA) had a false start Saturday at Jacksonville, as a weather delay prevented him from throwing. His last appearance for the Generals came on September 9, helping Jackson clinch the North Division Series over Montgomery. He'll be opposed by RHP Rob Wooten (no action in 2019), a 33-year-old veteran with 71 games of big-league service time. Wooten has only thrown 40.2 IP in the last 2 years.

ARMED AND READY: In contrast to their meager offense, Jackson's pitching has been generally stellar. Jackson's 1.66 ERA ranks second in the Southern League, with 10 of their 13 pitchers having not allowed an earned run yet.
