JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (May 31, 2019) - The Mobile BayBears, the Double-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels, scored a first-inning run but could not hold the lead, falling to the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 6-3 Friday night at the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville.
Jason Alexander (2-6) retired the first seven batters of the game before giving up three runs, two earned, in the third and another run in the fourth. Alexander took the loss, despite striking out seven batters in a five-inning start.
The BayBears (21-32) grabbed an early lead with a pair of hits in the first inning against Sixto Sanchez (1-1). Brendon Sanger drove in Brandon Marsh with a two-out RBI single, and Sanger added a solo home run in the fourth. However, Sanchez earned his first Double-A win for Jacksonville (21-33), coming just one out away from a quality start.
Marsh recorded his second straight multi-hit game. He leads the BayBears with 12 multi-hit games this season. Sanger's long ball was his team-high sixth and second in the past three games.
The BayBears wrap up the five-game road series against Jacksonville Saturday at 5:35 p.m. CDT.
