TODAY'S PITCHING MATCHUP: Generals right-hander Bo Takahashi is coming off his best start of the year, tranquilizing the Mobile BayBears on Wednesday with seven shutout frames and seven strikeouts. Takahashi's two prior outings against Tennessee have been up and down: He put up a five-inning scoreless outing in April, but he gave up 4 earned runs in 3.1 innings in an early May meeting. Cory Abbott has been kryptonite for the Generals this year: the Smokies right-hander has doled out just 3 earned runs in 11.2 innings against Jackson, striking out 14 men.

THE D&D SHOW: After some uneven efforts in April, Daulton Varsho and Drew Ellis are powering the Generals' success in May. Ellis (.340 BA, 5 doubles, 3 HR in May) ranks third in the Southern League in May in batting average, with Varsho (.321 BA, 4 doubles, 2 HR in May) slotted fifth. Ellis sports a league-high 1.044 OPS in May, The only other pair of teammates that ranks in the top 10 in the Southern League in batting average in May are Montgomery Biscuits Jesus Sanchez and Dalton Kelly.

RAVE REVIEWS FOR RAMON (AGAIN): It took a little while to get going, but Ramon Hernandez continues to sharpen his edge at Double-A. After batting .200 in April, Hernandez is warming up in May, batting .300 thru May 19. Hernandez homered in 3 straight games May 16, 17, and 19. He also has hits in 7 of his last 10 games.
