Durham, NC - The Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp hit four homers to earn a rain-shortened 11-5 victory over the Durham Bulls on Thursday night at the DBAP.
After the game was scoreless through 2 1/2 innings, Durham (28-44) took a 1-0 lead against Miami Marlins rehabbing Eury Perez when Oliver Dunn singled to right field to score Connor Hujsak.
But Jacksonville (39-32) took a 2-1 advantage in the fourth on a two-run homer by Deyvison De Los Santos against Bulls starter Ty Johnson (L, 2-1). Jared Serna and Kemp Alderman hit homers in the fifth, then GrifiÃÆn Conine drilled a three-run shot in the sixth off reliever Alex Cook as Jacksonville built a 9-2 lead.
Hujsak tripled home Logan Davidson in the fifth, then the Bulls hit a pair of homers in the sixth as Carson Williams and Cooper Kinney each went deep against reliever Jack Ralston.
Heavy rains began as the seventh inning ended and after waiting out a 30-minute delay, the game was called.
Johnson suffered his first Triple-A loss by allowing six hits and six runs over 5 2/3 innings.
