Full Recap: JacksonGeneralsBaseball.com

TODAY'S PITCHING MATCHUP: Right-hander Josh Green will try to lead the Generals to their first rubber-game win this season. Green's last outing was his shortest as a General, working just 5 1/3 frames while conceding eight hits and 2 runs to Mobile on August 5. He walked more men (3) than he struck out (2), but his elite groundball rate (66%, 3rd-best in MILB) has continued to keep opposing hitters in check. He meets right-hander Wendolyn Bautista, who hasn't worked fewer than 6 innings in any of his last 7 starts.

WELCOME BACK: Jackson right-hander Sam Lewis was activated from the injured list on Saturday, returning to Jackson for the first time since May. Lewis pitched to a 2.23 ERA over his first 40.1 innings in the 2019 season, the sixth-best mark in the Southern League at the time of his departure.

ALL-STAR 2020: On July 29, the Jackson Generals announced that they would play host to the 2020 Southern League All-Star Game at The Ballpark at Jackson, their first All-Star Game since 2011. Manager Blake Lalli was a participant in that 2011 game, which the North Division won 6-3. (CLICK: 2020 SL ASG release)
