The Tides managed only three hits and failed to pick up their first win of the season. Starter Spenser Watkins worked four innings and allowed three runs. Two of those runs came via solo shots by Jacksonville and the third scored on a wild pitch. The Orioles signed Watkins as a minor league free agent back in February.
The Jumbo Shrimp extended their lead with a four-run fifth inning. Claudio Custodio replaced Watkins and allowed a single, walk, sacrifice fly and three run home run. A fielding error by Chris Shaw resulted in only one earned run for Custodio.
