LAST GAME: Pearl, Miss. - The Jackson Generals, the Double-A affiliate of Major League Baseball's Arizona Diamondbacks, struggled to score on Mississippi Braves pitcher Joey Wentz (4-6, 5.05 ERA) on Wednesday, losing a 7-1 contest at Trustmark Park. The Generals (41-35) have now dropped four of their first six games in the Second Half, while the Braves (37-38) are off to a 4-2 start after the All-Star Break. Full Recap: JacksonGeneralsBaseball.com

TODAY'S PITCHING MATCHUP: With a pair of games on tap, Joel Payamps (Game 1) and Bryan Valdez (Game 2) will try to rebound from rough outings in Mobile. In back-to-back starts, Payamps and Valdez each allowed six runs on eleven hits to the BayBears, the team with the fewest hits in the league. Now they face an M-Braves team that boasts three of the top hitters in the league by batting average: Drew Waters (.334), Ryan Casteel (.299), and Cristian Pache (.295). For Mississippi, Jasseel De La Cruz will see the Generals for the second time, though his first outing against them was limited due to rain. In four of his last five starts, De La Cruz has posted at least six innings of work and three or fewer runs allowed.

SQUANDERED INHERITANCE: In the Generals' last two games (June 24/26), Damien Magnifico and Matt Brill have each allowed an inherited runner to score. In Magnifico's case, the run that scored was the game-winning run. Neither pitcher was charged with an earned run (those runs are, for official purposes, the fault of the pitcher that allowed the scoring runner to reach base), but those are the kind of situational flubs that tend to cause a 10-13 record in one-run games.
