LAST GAME: Jackson, Tenn. - The Jackson Generals, the Double-A affiliate of Major League Baseball's Arizona Diamondbacks, rallied from a three-run deficit on Friday, beating the Pensacola Blue Wahoos 12-7 at The Ballpark at Jackson. The victory by the Generals (12-8) evens the series with Pensacola (15-7) at one game apiece entering Saturday. Full Recap: JacksonGeneralsBaseball.com.

TODAY'S PITCHING MATCHUP: Right-hander Emilio Vargas ranks in the Southern League's top 10 in opponent batting average (.205) and WHIP (0.81), coming off a strong start at Birmingham aided by good defense. He goes toe-to-toe with Brusdar Graterol, the Twins' top-ranked pitching prospect who is known for throwing two-seam fastballs that climb into the triple-digits. He was a 2018 Midwest League All-Star, so former Kane Countians Blake Lalli & Rick Short know him well.

DILIGENT DREW: After a slow start to the year, Drew Ellis has recorded three consecutive multi-hit games over the last three nights, helping the Generals to a pair of wins. Ellis has 10 hits over his last seven games entering Saturday, upping his average from .154 to .275 in that span.

HOW TO MAKE AN ENTRANCE: The Generals added outfielder Ryan Grotjohn from the Visalia Rawhide on Thursday, and he wasted no time making an impact. In his 2019 Jackson debut, Grotjohn went 3-for-4 with 3 runs scored, 3 RBI and a pair of doubles, leading the Generals to a 12-7 comeback victory on Friday.
