Posted on August 9, 2021 by | Comments Off on GRIZZLIES TAKE 4 OF 6 FROM GIANTS

Grizzlies CF Bladimir Restituyo doubled in the eventual winning run to cap a 2-run rally in the 6th inning as Fresno topped San Jose 4-3 on Sunday. The Grizzlies (56-28) stretched out their North division lead over the Giants to three games, with San Jose (53-31) five games up on Rancho Cucamonga (47-35) for the final playoff spot.

With San Jose up 2-0 in the third inning, #8 hitter Trevor Boone hit a solo homer (4) to get the Grizzlies on the board. Later, RF Joe Aeilts singled in the tying run ahead of Restituyo’s double.
