We can call back 3B Bobby Scrogham (25-R) from Daytona (A) now, but he has not hit a lick for the Tortugas, so we will leave him there for seasoning.

The Memphis Mules are here to play a 3 game series over the weekend. They have also had the last two days off and lost a pair of games in Richmond on Monday and Tuesday. They are tied for 6th in scoring with 4.50 runs per game (Jacksonville is still last with 3.08). They are 3rd in HR (40) and we are dead last (13). The Mules are 13th in fewest runs allowed with 4.60 per game (Jacksonville is #15 with 4.83). Even though their pitching has not been very good, they have allowed the fewest HR in the League (20), while we have allowed the 3rd most (36). Their run differential is -4 and ours is -70.

Memphis Mules (22-18 .550 1.5 GB in 4th place in the Southern Division) at
Jacksonville Jays (12-28 .308 11.5 GB in 8th (last) place in the Southern Division)

MEM: Charlie Foltz (27-R) (5-1 3.29 ERA 52 IP, 59 H, 1 HR, 22 BB, 41 SO) vs.
JAX: Victor Espinoza (36-R) (3-3 1.74 ERA 57 IP, 44 H, 2 HR, 12 BB, 39 SO)

Foltz is their #1 starter. He has won his last 4 starts, allowing a total of 4 earned runs.

Espinoza pitched a CG 4 hitter, allowing 2 runs in a win last time out. He is currently 2nd in the League in ERA.
