TODAY'S PITCHING MATCHUP: Generals right-hander Riley Smith has allowed just two earned runs in his last 25 innings of work (0.72 ERA), and he will go for his fourth quality start of the season today. In the three starts he made last season against High-A Inland Empire, the Angels affiliate that feeds Mobile, current BayBears Jahmai Jones, Jack Kruger, Brandon Sandoval, and Connor Justus went a combined 6-for-15 against Smith, including a Kruger homer. For Mobile, right-hander Jesus Castillo is coming off a career-long outing, coming within one strike of a complete-game shutout against Jacksonville on May 6 in an 8-2 win. Castillo got 12 groundball outs in that game, using just 92 pitches in the outing. In his six starts prior to last Monday, Castillo hadn't completed more than four innings.
