MODESTO TAKES SERIES FROM SAN JOSE WITH 7-6 WIN

Posted on August 15, 2021 by | Comments Off on MODESTO TAKES SERIES FROM SAN JOSE WITH 7-6 WIN

Modesto broke open a scoreless tie in the fourth inning with five runs, highlighted by RF Alberto Rodriguez‘ two-RBI double. That would be it for the visitors until the 10th inning. Meanwhile, San Jose chipped away, starting with an RBI double by RF Jairo Pomares in the bottom of the fourth.

C Fabian Pena hit his third homer of the year in the fifth inning to make it 5-2, Modesto. 2B Jimmy Glowenke knocked in a pair with a double in the seventh and then hit his eighth homer of the year with two outs in the bottom of the ninth to force extras.

After the two Modesto runs in the top of the 10th, LF Carter Williams singled in the installed runner to make it a 7-6 game. But Nuts right-hander Leon Hunter struck out San Jose 3B Yorlis Rodriguez to end the game.

RHP Jimmy Kingsbury started for Modesto and went 4IP, allowing two runs on six hit, no walks and six strikeouts. LHP Kyle Harrison was San Jose’s starter and he left the game after two strong innings: 0R, 1H, 1BB, 5K. No word at this time why he was pulled.

Modesto is now 47-43, eight games back of San Jose (55-35) for the second playoff spot. The Giants sit five games back of Fresno (60-30) but are still 3 1/2 games ahead of Rancho Cucamonga  (51-38) for the second and final spot.

Pomares has been on fire for San Jose, going 9 for his last 17 with two doubles and two homers. After slashing .369/.416/.709 in July, the 21-year old from Cuba is batting .429/.474/.714 over 13 games in August.

Alberto Rodriguez is hitting .365/.421/.538 in August.

Colin Davis, a 7th-round pick in this year’s draft, joined Modesto on July 28th and is 14-for-44 with two HRs, batting .318/.423, .500 over 11 games.

The Modesto Nuts put up five runs in the third inning  Thursday night to go ahead for good in a 10-4 win at San Jose. The visitors used six singles and a double to put up the five-spot, erasing a 1-0 deficit, and added on down the stretch to get their first win of the six-game series.

Modesto came right back in the top of the sixth with a run on an RBI  single by Jones to make it 6-4. The Nuts tacked on three in the eighth and one in the ninth to make it a comfortable 10-4 victory.

GRIZZLIES TAKE 4 OF 6 FROM GIANTS

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.

Restituyo went 2-for-3 from the #9 spot as most of the damage was done from the bottom of Fresno’s batting order. 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.

RHP Case Williams went 5 IP for Fresno and allowed 5H, 3R (1ER), 1BB and 2K in getting a no-decision. LHP Tanner Propst (W, 3-1) pitched a scoreless inning with no hits or walks and one strikeout to earn the win.

1B Luis Toribio led San Jose’s offense with three hits, including two doubles, and drove in two runs. Over seven games in August, Toribio is slashing .360/.429/.640.

GRIZZLIES EDGE NUTS FOR 10TH STRAIGHT WIN

Posted on July 21, 2021 by | Comments Off on GRIZZLIES EDGE NUTS FOR 10TH STRAIGHT WIN

The Fresno Grizzlies returned home from an 11-1 road trip and took the opener from Modesto 2-1 with some opportunistic offense and a strong effort from five pitchers. Fresno scored both of its runs on wild pitches and RHP Toney Locey and four relievers made them stand up for the Grizzlies’ 10th straight win.

The high-powered Grizzlies offense only got four hits but they got what they needed with single runs in the fourth and eighth innings. RF Zac Veen led off the fourth with a bunt single and SS Ezequiel Tovar followed with another, which had to be reviewed to be ruled a hit as he avoided the sweep tag on his way to first. The umpires conferred and called Tovar safe as Veen advanced to second and then went to third on a double-play groundout by 1B Grant Lavigne.  Modesto starter RHP Josiah De Los Santos then threw one to that backstop that allowed Veen to score the first run of the game.

The Nuts sent seven men to the plate in the bottom of the first and cashed in three runs on an Alberto Rodriguez groundout and a two-run single by Trent Tinglestad. Modesto tacked on another run in the fourth on an error by Stockton SS Robert Puason.

NUTS STRIKE EARLY IN WIN OVER RAWHIDE

Posted on July 3, 2021 by | Comments Off on NUTS STRIKE EARLY IN WIN OVER RAWHIDE

The Modesto Nuts stayed hot Friday night and got six runs in the first two innings to cruise to an 8-1 win over the Rawhide in Visalia. The visitors got three in the first and three in the second and went on to win their sixth game in a row including all four in this series.

CF Victor Labrada went 3-for-4 from the leadoff spot and RF Alberto Rodriguez was 1-for-5 with a homer and four RBIs. RHP Sam Carlson (W, 2-1) went five innings and allowed one run on three hits and five walks with eight strikeouts. He threw 105 pitches, 61 for strikes.

Rawhide starter Adrian Del Moral got knocked around over the first two innings as Modesto built a 6-0 lead, but he bounced back for a 1-2-3 third inning and struck out the first two hitters in the fourth before walking SS Noelvi Marte. RHP Enmanuel Acosta came on in relief of Del Moral and gave up a 2-run homer to Rodriguez to put the Nuts ahead 8-0.

Visalia’s only run came when RF Jefferson Espinal walked to lead off the sixth inning and came home on a sac fly by 1B Lyle Lin.

Modesto RHP Matthew Willdrodt went three shutout innings in relief of Carlson, allowing just one hit with no walks and four strikeouts.

Carlson had a lot of traffic with the five walks, three hits and two HBPs, but he was able to keep the Rawhide off the board with the exception of his last batter coming around to score after he left the game. Odd occurrence, Carlson’s first and last batters were both HBPs.

The Nuts are now 30-22 and picked up a game on first-place San Jose in the North division as they now trail by five games with second-place Fresno two games out. The Rawhide suffered its sixth straight loss and have a record of 13-39. They’re 12 1/2 games behind first-place Rancho Cucamonga in the South Division.

Game five of the six-game series starts at 6:30 tonight.
