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. In his six starts prior to last Monday, Castillo hadn't completed more than four innings. In game 2 of the double-header, Sam Lewis puts his 14.8% swinging strike rate (ranked #4 in the league) on the line against the BayBears' Jason Alexander, who is coming off a career start against Jacksonville with eight innings pitched & nine strikeouts.
