Jacksonville Earns 5-4 Win
Jacksonville parlayed a decent outing from starter Ivan Lopez into a solid win over the Denver Broncos. The final score was 5-4. The save was credited to Tony Rada, his 8th. Denver drops to 15-16.

Jacksonville used a timely hit from Bryan Scholtes to get the win. The left fielder stroked a 2-run double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Jaguars ahead, 5-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"I take a professional approach to my job," said Lopez. "I've been around this game for a while."
