RP Justin Reddick (29-R) was sent back to Daytona (A) and RP Bob Craig (23-R) was recalled. Craig has been hammered in almost every game he has pitched for the Jays, but he keeps pitching great for the Tortugas. The American Association is only hitting .190 against him with no home runs in 32.2 IP with a 2.20 ERA. For the Jays, he has a 17.47 ERA in 5.2 IP with 13 hits, 2 home runs and 7 walks...

Jacksonville Jays (42-85 .331 30 GB in 8th (last) place in the Southern Division) at
Memphis Mules (70-58 .547 2.5 GB in 2nd place in the Southern Division)

JAX: Dalton Hartman (24-R) (2-6 5.14 ERA 68.1 IP, 89 H, 8 HR, 20 BB, 25 SO) Rookie vs.
MEM: Rick Potts (22-R) (7-9 3.65 ERA 148 IP, 146 H, 10 HR, 60 BB, 107 SO)

Hartman allowed 6 runs on 13 hits, 2 home runs and 3 walks with 3 strikeouts in 7.2 innings last time out in a loss.

Though Charlie Foltz (27-R) was an All-Star, Rick Potts is their #1 starter. In 2 starts against us, he is 1-0 with a 3.24 ERA and 8.1 IP, 9 H, 1 HR, 5 BB and 6 SO. The first time he faced us, he only pitched to 1 batter before leaving with an injury. He is pitching with back spasms today, but they do not think it will affect his throwing.
