Posted on September 15, 2021 by | Comments Off on GIANTS SCORE 10 ON FRESNO, TOSS 2-HITTER

The San Jose Giants and Fresno Grizzlies will be seeing quite a lot of each other this week and next, and Tuesday night’s matchup was a dominant 10-0 win for the visiting Giants. Starter Kyle Harrison (W, 4-3) allowed two hits and three walks over five shutout innings and leadoff man Najee Gaskins had three hits and scored two runs in the rout.

Scoreless after three innings, the Giants got five runs (2ER) off of Fresno starter Anderson Amarista, who made a throwing error to complicate matters for himself. JImmy Glowenke singled in a pair of runs, part of a 3-for-4 night for the San Jose second baseman.

Luis Matos and Ghordy Santos each had two hits for the Giants.

Three relievers came out of the San Jose bullpen to combine for four hitless innings, striking out six without any walks. Harrison’s eight strikeouts brought his total to 162, second in the league behind teammate Carson Ragsdale (162).

Julio Carreras was 1-for-3 with a walk for Fresno.

The season-ending six-game series continues tonight, followed by the Low-A West championship series between these two teams. Tuesday night’s win pulled San Jose (73-42) to within 1 1/2 game of first-place Fresno (72-38).

HARRISON DOMINANT IN GIANTS WIN

Posted on September 3, 2021 by | Comments Off on HARRISON DOMINANT IN GIANTS WIN

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).
