Beating the Biscuits (61-36, 17-10 Second Half) brings Jackson (54-40, 15-9 Second Half) to the doorstep of first place in the North Division's Second Half race and puts the Generals up 7-3 in the two teams' season series.

TODAY'S PITCHING MATCHUP: Talk about a big Friday for Josh Green. The Jackson right-hander gets the ball in his Double-A debut with a chance to help the Generals set a franchise record for consecutive wins as a D-backs affiliate, and he's going against the First Half champs for the North Division. The 23-year-old is pitching on eight days' rest after his scheduled start against Birmingham was rained out. His performance in the California League this season (9-1, 1.73 ERA) has earned him a slot among MLB Pipeline's rankings of the D-backs' top 30 prospects (No. 26). Green's heavy fastball is giving Matt Peacock's sinker a run for its money: Peacock (69.9% groundball rate) and Green (66.7%) rank No. 1 and No. 3 in groundball rate this year among MILB pitchers with at least 60 innings. Green will take on Paul Campbell, who will throw the majority of Montgomery's innings following an opener. Campbell gave up 3 earned runs to Jackson in 5.0 IP on July 2.

PLAYER(S) OF THE WEEK(S): The Generals have won each of the last two Player of the Week awards from the Southern League, as Ramon Hernandez and Pavin Smith have swung notably hot bats. Hernandez put up eight hits, eight runs, and seven RBI in six games during July 1-7. Smith went 9-for-18 with 17 total bases this past week.
