LAST GAME: The Jackson Generals, the Double-A affiliate of Major League Baseball's Arizona Diamondbacks, snapped out of a nineteen-inning scoreless drought on Tuesday, beating Birmingham 3-2 at The Ballpark at Jackson with a trio of eighth-inning runs. The comeback victory for Jackson (16-15) was their seventh of the season, tying the series with Birmingham (12-20) at one game each. Full Recap: JacksonGeneralsBaseball.com.

TODAY'S PITCHING MATCHUP: Generals right-hander Matt Peacock recently spent a week on the injured list, but he returns on Wednesday to face Birmingham in a morning start. It's Peacock's second straight morning start, following the four-inning effort he offered against Pensacola on April 29 (2 H, 1 ER). He carries the Southern League's highest groundball rate among starters (77.2%). Birmingham left-hander Kodi Medeiros was traded midseason last year from the Brewers (Biloxi Shuckers) to the White Sox (Birmingham), but since leaving Biloxi, Medeiros has only put up quality starts in 3 of 11 outings. Medeiros, a former first-round pick in 2014, has battled control issues of late, issuing 6.75 walks per nine innings.

NOT SCARED OF HEIGHTS: The Generals have a real affinity for fly balls: four of their top hitters (Daulton Varsho, Jazz Chisholm, Drew Ellis, and Jamie Westbrook) rank among the league's top 10 in fly-ball rate, all at 50% or higher. A normal fly-ball rate is closer to 35%. (May 7)
