Kemp Alderman broke it open with a solo blast in the top of the ninth, sending the Jumbo Shrimp past the Redbirds 8-4. Matthew Etzel went 4-for-4 with two RBIs to pace Jacksonville's attack, as the visitors out-hit St. Paul 11-4 to seize control. The Jumbo Shrimp improved to 62-59 while the Redbirds dropped to 67-56. The teams meet again Friday.
Alderman's fly ball to center field in the ninth inning, his 18th home run of the season, proved to be the difference with Deyvison De Los Santos on base.
Etzel's perfect night at the plate with 4-for-4 and two runs batted in led a Jumbo Shrimp offense that dominated in hits.
Jacksonville's 11-4 advantage in the hit column reflected a team that simply had more answers at every turn.
The Jumbo Shrimp are coming off a win, 5-5 over their last 10. The Redbirds are coming off a win, 4-6 over their last 10.
The Jumbo Shrimp are up next home vs Sounds (Aug 27-29). The Redbirds are up next at Knights (Aug 27-29).
Ranked by win probability added: how far each player's plays moved this game's odds, not how their box-score line reads. A single with the bases loaded in the ninth outranks a home run in a blowout, because that is what actually decided it.
Runs by inning across the top, then every batter and pitcher underneath. The pills switch clubs; the totals column is each side’s own line, not a comparison.
