JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Otto López reached base four times and hit a home run Thursday, but the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp fell to the Charlotte Knights 6-2 at 121 Financial Ballpark.

Charlotte's (3-9) bats hurt Jumbo Shrimp (7-4) early. Zach DeLoach ripped a leadoff single in the second. Two batters later, Carlos Pérez reached on an error and Brett Phillps walked to load the bases. Following a strikeout, Rafael Ortega worked a walk to tie the game at one. The walk extended the inning and Danny Mendick cleared the bases with a three-run double, bringing the Knights' lead to 4-1.

The Knights bats stayed hot in the third. With one out, Deloach singled for his second hit of the game. Adam Hackenberg laced a base hit, putting runners at first and second. DeLoach was caught stealing third on a double-steal attempt and Pérez cracked a double, which brought home Hackenberg from second. Phillps followed Pérez and hit an RBI double, giving Charlotte a 6-1 lead.

The Jumbo Shrimp were able to chip away at their deficit in the fifth. López (2) launched a home run, continuing his torrid start to the 2024 season.
