The Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp look to clinch a series victory over the Durham Bulls when they meet on Saturday night at Durham Bulls Athletic Park
The Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (4-3) already clinched no worse than a split in their six-game series with the Durham Bulls (2-5) at Durham Bulls Athletic Park. On Saturday night, the Jumbo Shrimp — the Triple-A affiliate of the Miami Marlins — can lock up their first series victory of the season with a victory over the Tampa Bay Rays’ top farm club. Durham infielder Junior Caminero, the No. 4 prospect in baseball per MLB Pipeline, landed on the seven-day injured list on Monday after straining his left quad in Sunday’s win over the Norfolk Tides. The top-ranked prospect from the Marlins playing for Jacksonville is utilityman Dane Myers, ranked No. 14 in their organization.

The Jumbo Shrimp exploded with a five-run ninth inning on Friday and hung on for a 9-6 victory. Tied 4-4 entering the frame, Griffin Conine opened the floodgates with a bases-loaded walk. Myers drove in a run with a fielder’s choice before Tristan Gray reached on a strikeout after catcher Logan Driscoll failed to secure the pitch. Troy Johnson’s two-run single capped the rally.
The Bulls tied the game in the bottom of the eighth on Jake Mangum’s single to right that deflected off pitcher Calvin Faucher. Mangum earlier belted a two-run homer off Faucher in the sixth.
Durham gives the ball to left-hander Jacob Lopez on Saturday night. He picked up the win at Norfolk on Sunday, allowing a run on three hits in five innings. Jacksonville had not declared a starter.
