RP Jim Kenzy (34-R) was activated from the DL and RP Justin Reddick (29-R) was sent back to Daytona (A).

We are back home for 2 whole days to play Birmingham. They just split a pair of games in New Orleans. We are 3-1 against them on the season and this is their first trip to Jacksonville. They have run into a team hitting slump and are 14th in scoring with 3.56 runs per game (Jacksonville is #11 with 3.92). They are last in BA at .237. We are 11th at .252. The Barons are 4th in fewest runs allowed with 3.70 per game (Jacksonville is #5 with 3.76). We have allowed 2 more runs than they have, but they have played 1 more game. Their run differential is -11, 86 runs better than Louisville, who is a game ahead of them in the standings. Ours is now +11.
