LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. – Ryan Casteel blasted a pinch-hit two-run home run in the seventh inning, but the Gwinnett Stripers (15-12) could not rally as they fell to the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (16-11) 6-2 at Coolray Field on Thursday night.

Decisive Play: *Justin Twine and Corey Bird each stroked RBI triples in a four-run sixth that raised Jacksonville’s lead from 1-0 to 5-0. All five runs were earned for Stripers’ starting pitcher *Bryse Wilson (L, 2-1).

Key Contributors: Casteel’s home run was his second this season, and the first pinch-hit clout for the Stripers since Travis Demeritte’s on May 12 vs. Louisville. Travis Snider led the Stripers in hitting with a 2-for-3 night. Orlando Arcia hit his seventh double of the year, finishing 1-for-5. Jacksonville starter Luis Madero (W, 4-1) struck out seven over 5.0 scoreless innings.

Noteworthy: Wilson’s loss was his first with Gwinnett since July 11, 2019 at Charlotte, snapping his nine-start unbeaten streak (8-0 from July 21, 2019 to May 28, 2021). Shane Greene allowed his first run in his fourth appearance with the Stripers this season, raising his ERA to 2.08.
