INLAND EMPIRE TOPS LAKE ELSINORE WITH 4-RUN INNING

The Inland Empire 66ers fell behind 1-0 in the first inning but came back with four runs in the third and won as starter Julio Goff and two relievers held down the Storm the rest of the way for a 4-1 win. RBI singles from Carson Matthews and Kyren Paris gave IE the lead that they would never relinquish.

Lake Elsinore’s Euribiel Angeles led off the game with a double and came around to score on a single by Jarryd Dale. That would be all that the Storm would get off of Goff, who  went 5 IP and allowed six hits and a walk with four strikeouts.

In the fourth, an HBP and a walk set up Matthews’ RBI single that tied the game  at 1-1. After a D’Shawn Knowles single, Paris followed with a 2-RBI single to make it 3-1, 66ers. Knowles came in on a groundout by Braxton Martinez to make it 4-1.

The 66ers got two shutout innings apiece from RHP Brandon Dufault and RHP Ryan Costeiu. Neither allowed a hit and both hurlers walked one while striking out two. Goff (5-5) earned the win while Costeiu got his first save.

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.
