San Jose LHP Kyle Harrison threw five scoreless innings on Thursday night and struck out 12 batters as the Giants beat the Visalia Rawhide 5-2. Patrick Bailey broke a scoreless tie with a three-run homer in the fifth inning to lead the offense.
Harrison (W, 2-3) kept Visalia off the board as he allowed just two hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out the side in the second inning after giving up a leadoff double to Adrian Del Castillo. In the fourth inning he got himself into a jam with a walk and an HBP around a Wilderd Patino double, but ultimately recorded all three outs via the K.
SS Abdiel Layer had three hits for San Jose.
San Jose (65-40) has won two of the first three games of the series with Visalia and is back to within three games of first-place Fresno (68-37).
