The two North Division playoff entrants from 2018 will play only 18 games this season, with thirteen of them coming in the Second Half.

LAST GAME: Pearl, Miss. - The Jackson Generals, the Double-A affiliate of Major League Baseball's Arizona Diamondbacks, took their Saturday series finale at Mississippi with a 7-3 win over the Braves. Jackson (43-37) recovered from a no-hit effort Friday night with eight of their starting nine reaching base, finishing their ten-game road trip with a 4-6 mark. Mississippi (39-40) dropped to 6-4 in the Second Half, though they have won seven of ten meetings with the Generals this year. Full Recap: JacksonGeneralsBaseball.com
TODAY'S PITCHING MATCHUP: In his previous look at the Montgomery Biscuits, Kevin McCanna threw five innings with four hits allowed, two earned runs, two walks and four strikeouts in a loss. Four of McCanna's last five outings have been in relief, but even so, he hasn't given up multiple runs in an appearance since a June 3 start at Birmingham, showing especially well against right-handed hitters (.200 BAA). He faces Josh Fleming, who is coming off a quality start against Jacksonville (7.0 IP, 3 ER). Fleming allowed 5 earned runs to Jackson over 5.0 IP in a loss on May 26.
FLIP THE SWITCH: The Generals' three best hitters since the All-Star Break --- Jeffrey Baez (.364 BA), Ryan Grotjohn (.310), and Jazz Chisholm (.300) --- are all off to hot starts after batting below .250 in the First Half.
