LAST GAME: The Jackson Generals, the Double-A affiliate of Major League Baseball's Arizona Diamondbacks, capitalized on a number of Birmingham Barons miscues on Monday, winning 5-2 at Regions Field to take a 2-1 lead in their five-game series. Jamie Westbrook and Jeffrey Baez supplied Jackson (9-7) with home runs, and Emilio Vargas (1-0, 3.43 ERA) and a trio of relievers shut down the homestanding Barons (9-9) on defense.

Recap: JacksonGeneralsBaseball.com

TODAY'S PITCHING MATCHUP: Right-hander Sam Lewis will try to put Jackson over the top to claim their second series victory in a row. Lewis no-hit Birmingham last April over 5.0 innings pitched in his only start against them. The Barons' Felix Paulino, a former Phillies farmhand, was traded to the White Sox last summer. He's off to a good start this year, working 17.0 IP over 3 appearances with just 5 runs allowed and 245 pitches thrown (14.4 pitches per inning).

CANARY IN THE BOX SCORES: The Generals have won 2 of their past 3 games despite being held to a 1-for-24 mark with men in scoring position. They have left 28 men stranded on base in that span, an average greater than one LOB per inning. The Jackson offense remains dependent upon extra-base hits: they have the third-fewest hits in the SL through April 23 (115), but 40% of them have been XBHs.

NO WALKING: The Jackson pitching staff didn't issue a walk in nine innings of work yesterday, their first walk-free game of the 2019 season!
