TODAY'S PITCHING MATCHUP: Jackson's Riley Smith is coming off his best start of the year, a seven-inning effort where he allowed a run on four hits in an eventual extra-innings loss. (Smith took no decision.) He had success last time he threw against Birmingham, shutting out the Barons with 78% of his 69 pitches going for strikes in six innings of work. Birmingham counterpart Kyle Kubat, a recent arrival from Class-A Advanced Winston-Salem, tossed seven shutout frames against Chattanooga in his 2019 debut with the Barons, striking out seven men. The former Nebraska Cornhusker was traded to the White Sox at the end of Spring Training in 2017, but he's only recently been given a chance to be in the rotation, earning 14 of his 19 career starts in the last ten months.

JAZZ-HAMMER POWERED ON: On May 5, Jazz Chisholm homered at Tennessee for the fourth time in three games, upping his league-leading home run total to 9. The 21-year-old shortstop is the only player in the league with multiple multi-homer games this year, something he did twice in the Midwest League last season. His 18 runs scored and 12 extra-base hits are also top-10 Southern League marks entering Monday.
