MODESTO STAYS UNBEATEN IN 2ND HALF, 3-1 OVER SAN JOSE

The Modesto Nuts got home runs from Walking Cabrera (2) and David Sheaffer (1) and five pitchers held the San Jose Giants to one run on six hits in a 3-1 win at Excite Ballpark. At 5-0, Modesto is the only undefeated team in the second half and has at two-game lead on San Jose (3-2) in the North division.

Edwin Arroyo went 1-for-3 with two walks for the Nuts and is batting .320, second in the Cal League. The 18-year old leads the league in hits with 87.

Blake Townsend (W, 1-0) was the first pitcher out of the bullpen, inheriting a 1-1 game in the third inning. The 21-year old Australian threw two scoreless innings and allowed just one hit with no walks and one strikeout to earn the win.

Reigning Cal League Pitcher of the Week Nick Sinacola (L, 4-5) went four innings for San Jose and gave up two runs on five hits and a walk with seven strikeouts to take the tough-luck loss. Hunter Dula finished the game for the Giants with 2 2/3 IP and allowed no runs or hits with one walk and three Ks.
