LAST GAME: Jackson, Tenn. - The Jackson Generals, the Double-A affiliate of Major League Baseball's Arizona Diamondbacks, got a three-hit night from Drew Ellis and a save from West Tunnell to help hold off the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp on Thursday, winning 5-4 at The Ballpark at Jackson. The Generals (76-57) tied the season series with Jacksonville (66-69) at 3-3 and won their 76th game overall, besting their 2018 regular season total in their run to the Southern League title last season. Full Recap: JacksonGeneralsBaseball.com

TODAY'S MATCHUP: For the last time before the playoffs, MILB groundball rate leader Matt Peacock has a chance to tune up his sinking, running fastball against a Jacksonville offense that beat him in April (5.0 IP, 2 ER in a 2-1 loss). Believe it or not, Peacock could use a good outing to close out what has been his worst month this year by ERA (4.67 ERA in 27.0 IP). On the other side, lefty Trevor Rogers is pitching with his team's playoff hopes on the line. Rogers gave up six earned runs in 4 1/3 IP against Birmingham in his last outing, but if his team doesn't win and Biloxi takes down the Barons, Jacksonville's playoff hopes will go cold.

AND THE WINNERS ARE: Three Generals earned Postseason All-Star honors:

>>OF Pavin Smith (122 G) ranks among the league's top 10 in batting average (.290), hits (127), total bases (204), doubles (29), triples (6), RBI (66), walks (58), and OPS (.834). He's also hitting .327 in the Second Half.

>>3B Drew Ellis (115 G) tops the circuit with 63 walks and ranks in the top 15 in the league for walks, RBI (63), and runs scored (57). He's also sixth in doubles (23) and has been a solid defender at third base, helping turn 27 double plays.

>>C Daulton Varsho (106 G) leads the SL in runs (83) and OPS (.887) while playing a premier defensive spot. He also has 17 homers & 21 steals, batting .335 in the Second Half. He's caught a Jackson pitching staff that has thrown the fewest wild pitches in the league (56).

Franchise records within reach for Varsho: runs (91, 4 games left)

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.
