Birmingham Barons (24-33 .421 11.5 GB in 8th (last) place in the Southern Division) at
Jacksonville Jays (36-22 .621 3 GA in 1st place in the Southern Division)

BIRM: Al Staab (22-L) (0-0 4.91 ERA 14.2 IP, 15 H, 2 HR, 11 BB, 9 SO) Rookie
JAX: Mike Marsh (23-R) (3-0 1.09 ERA 24.2 IP, 21 H, 0 HR, 10 BB, 12 SO) Rookie

Staab was a 6th round pick in the 2003 B Leagues Draft. He was the #98 prospect this Spring. His first MLB outing was a relief appearance that did not go very well and he allowed 6 hits and a walk and 4 runs and only got 2 outs. But his next two outings were starts and he pitched well both times, only allowing 4 total runs in 14 innings, though he did walk 10 batters.

Marsh has had 3 starts this season and allowed only 1 run each time, but only got 1 win. Last time out, he gave up 6 hits and 3 walks with 6 strikeouts in 7 innings in a no decision that we won in the bottom of the 9th.
