On Road, Jacksonville Drops Pittsburgh, 7-1
Josh Elliott pitched a gem to lead Jacksonville to victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, 7-1. In 7.1 innings, Elliott surrendered 8 hits, while striking out 7 and walking 0. He allowed 1 run. Jacksonville is now 27-19, Pittsburgh 15-31.

Jacksonville used a clutch at-bat from Juan Rodriguez to capture the win. The right fielder hammered a grand slam home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Jaguars ahead, 5-0. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Whenever we hold the other team to one run," said Jaguars manager Fred Valdez, "I like our chances."
