Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 2, Charlotte Knights 1 (Gameday Box) (Statcast Box)
The Knights offense finally showed some life down the stretch, but it was too little, too late in this low-scoring loss.
Jumbo Shrimp starting pitcher Janson Junk brought his “A” game on Wednesday, and the Knights offense struggled immensely. Junk struck out 10 in six shutout innings, only allowing one measly single to Edgar Quero. Nobody else reached base safely against Junk, as the Knights finished 1-for-19 against him.
Meanwhile, Knights pitcher Chris Rodriguez also got off to a strong start.
