TODAY'S PITCHING MATCHUP: Generals right-hander Emilio Vargas has given up four runs over his past two starts, throwing 11 2/3 innings with 13 strikeouts and no walks. He struggled in his previous start against Tennessee (5 ER in 5.0 IP). Likewise, Tennessee's Thomas Hatch, a 2016 third-round pick by the Cubs out of Oklahoma State, gave up nine runs to the Generals in his last meeting with Jackson, but he's coming off his first quality start of the year (6.0 IP, 2 ER at Jacksonville).

JAMIE'S GOT SOME JUICE: Generals outfielder Jamie Westbrook features a .512 slugging percentage, one of 7 SL players with an above .500 mark. What's really different for Westbrook has been his play in the outfield. His quickness, anticipation, and strong throwing arm are impacting games at a higher level this year than in his first two seasons playing in the outfield. Entering this year, Westbrook had 7 career outfield assists over 149 games in the outfield. In 2019, Westbrook already has 6 assists in his first 19 games. MILB.com's Brian Lester recently interviewed Jamie, chronicling his journey to his age-23 season.
