Jacksonville Beats San Diego, 5-0
The Jacksonville Jaguars beat the San Diego Chargers, 5-0, at Chargers Stadium. Starting pitcher Josh Elliott was a big reason why. He held his opponent in check all game. Elliott picked up the win for Jacksonville, going 6 innings. He gave up no runs on 7 hits. He now sports a record of 2-1. The win puts Jacksonville at 21-13 this season.

Angel Cruz had a big run-scoring double for the Jaguars in the top of the first inning. With Jacksonville leading 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he got a slider from 36-year old left-handed pitcher Mike Whiting and swatted a double to left-center. It was his 12th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Jaguars ahead, 2-0.

Elliott attributed the win to "energy and focus on the part of everyone."
