Orlando Juice (16-22 .421 6.5 GB in 7th place in the Southern Division) at
Jacksonville Jays (12-27 .308 11 GB in 8th (last) place in the Southern Division)
ORL: Victor Mandujano (32-L) (2-4 4.34 ERA 45.2 IP, 49 H, 1 HR, 21 BB, 22 SO) vs.
JAX: Frank Cook (35-R) (2-5 4.89 ERA 49.2 IP, 49 H, 2 HR, 21 BB, 23 SO)
We beat Mandujano in April, scoring 4 runs in 7 innings. To date, that is the only game started by a left-hander that they did not win.
Cook, who started the season pitching well, started pitching poorly, but winning. Now though, he has continued to pitch poorly and is losing. He gave up 6 runs in each of his last two starts, both losses.
