JUMBO SHRIMP 6, LOOKOUTS 4

» Sunday's road recap: After opening the second half of its Southern League schedule with a 5-5 homestand split against the Birmingham Barons and the Tennessee Smokies, Chattanooga suffered disappointment in its second-half road debut by blowing a 4-0 lead in Jacksonville, Florida. The Lookouts took a 4-2 lead into the eighth inning, but Stone Garrett's three-run home run to left field capped the Jumbo Shrimp's four-run outburst. Stuart Fairchild collected his first home run with the Lookouts in the first inning, and then a three-run blast by the torrid Mitch Nay in the third put Chattanooga up 4-0. Johendi Jiminian was brilliant on the mound for the Lookouts (5-6), allowing one hit over five innings while striking out nine. Adrian Nieto's two-run homer to right in the seventh enabled Jacksonville to get within 4-2.

» Next up: Game two of a four-game series in Jacksonville is at 7:05 p.m. Monday.

» Pitchers: Packy Naughton (3-4, 3.72) is scheduled to start for the Lookouts, with Jorge Guzman (4-7, 3.87) scheduled for the Jumbo Shrimp.
