LAST GAME: Jackson, Tenn. - The Jackson Generals, the Double-A affiliate of Major League Baseball's Arizona Diamondbacks, shut out the Chattanooga Lookouts for the second day in a row on Thursday, winning 5-0 at The Ballpark at Jackson. The Generals (30-22) are the third team in the Southern League to reach the 30-win mark in the First Half, extending their pitching staff's scoreless-innings streak against Chattanooga (28-24) to twenty in a row. With Birmingham's late rally to beat Montgomery, the Generals are now tied for first place in the North Division for the first time since April 26.

Full Recap: JacksonGeneralsBaseball.com

TODAY'S PITCHING MATCHUP: Right-hander Justin Donatella is coming off the shortest outing of his career, when he lasted just two-thirds of an inning against Montgomery last week and gave up four runs. His start before that one was excellent (7.0 IP, 1 ER vs. Tennessee), so the Montgomery mishap was hopefully an anomaly. Chattanooga's Tony Santillan will pose a significant threat to the Generals: he threw four scoreless innings in an early April start against Jackson, and his last two outings have featured more strikeouts (12) than hits allowed (11).

CRIBBS ROCKING: Generals utility man Galli Cribbs is having a good late May run. In Jackson's series against Montgomery and Chattanooga, Cribbs is 8-for-17 (.471) with a double, a triple, 3 runs scored and an RBI (through May 30).

BIDDING FOR BILOXI: The Generals have several strong candidates for selection to the 2019 Midseason All-Star Game at Biloxi's MGM Park on June 18. In addition to Lucas Luetge (1.08 ERA) and Sam Lewis (2.23 ERA), Jackson's best performers are:

*C Daulton Varsho: .268 BA, 28 runs, 8 doubles, 8 homers, 6 stolen bases

*2B Andy Young: .261 BA, 24 runs, 11 doubles, 5 homers, .371 OBP

*3B Drew Ellis: .278 BA, 27 runs, 11 doubles, 3 homers, .365 OBP

*RHP Bo Takahashi: 4-2, 3.20 ERA, 45.0 IP, 39 K, 1.27 WHIP, 2 quality starts

*RHP Riley Smith: 3-3, 1.83 ERA, 54.0 IP, 40 K, 1.09 WHIP, 5 quality starts

Smith was recently sent to Extended Spring, but he could return soon.
