LAST GAME: Jackson, Tenn. - The Jackson Generals, the Double-A affiliate of Major League Baseball's Arizona Diamondbacks, fell behind the Biloxi Shuckers early on Sunday and never returned fire, dropping a 4-0 game at The Ballpark at Jackson. The loss keeps the Generals (39-31) from scoring a sweep over the Shuckers (41-29), who held the Generals without a run for just the fifth time this year. Full Recap: JacksonGeneralsBaseball.com

TODAY'S PITCHING MATCHUP: After missing his scheduled start at Hank Aaron Stadium in May due to rain, Mobile native Matt Peacock prepares to make his first and only homecoming appearance. The former Saraland HS Spartan and South Alabama Jaguar has flourished at Double-A when healthy, weathering a pair of IL stints in the First Half to record a 2.09 ERA. In his most recent start, the groundball maven induced 11 groundouts, with seven of them handled by third baseman Drew Ellis. Peacock opens the season's Second Half against BayBears right-hander Andrew Wantz, who allowed only one run in a six-inning Double-A debut against Mississippi on June 13.

ALL-STAR GAMERS: The Southern League's All-Star Game happened in Biloxi on June 18, and six Generals were invited to play a part (stats from First Half).

SMITH AND WESTBROOK FULLY LOADED: Generals Pavin Smith and Jamie Westbrook have put up strong numbers in June, especially Westbrook, who drove in the game-winning run on back to back nights against Biloxi.

Westbrook in June: leads team in BA (.348, 16-46), OBP (.455, 9 BB)

ONE THING LEADS TO ANOTHER: After leading the team in the First Half with 101 total bases, Generals infielder Andy Young was promoted to Reno on June 16. To fill his place, the D-backs tapped Visalia Rawhide outfielder/first baseman Mark Karaviotis, who won Midseason All-Star honors in the California League. He batted .286 for Visalia with 33 RBI while helping them to a 44-22 mark.
