  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Jacksonville Suns (21-8) 0 2 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 3 9 0

Suns Fall to Barons, 4-3
Birmingham Barons starter Joe Wood pitched a strong game against the Jacksonville Suns at Regions Park, leading the Barons to victory, 4-3. The winner in relief was José Vargas. He is now 2-0. The right-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits in 1.1 innings. Jorge Santiago saved it for Birmingham.

Had Camila Azeredo not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 3rd, Azeredo hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 4-3, in favor of the Barons.

"Joe is good at sticking to his strengths," said Birmingham manager Casey Kopitzke.

The loss makes Jacksonville 21-8.
