RAGSDALE SHARP IN GIANTS’ CLINCHER

Posted on September 11, 2021 by | Comments Off on RAGSDALE SHARP IN GIANTS’ CLINCHER

The San Jose Giants clinched a playoff spot on Friday night with Carson Ragsdale throwing five shutout innings and adding six more strikeouts to his Low-A West leading total, now 162. The Giants beat the Stockton Ports 6-0 and locked up a post-season matchup with the Fresno Grizzlies.

Ragsdale (W, 8-6) allowed three hits and a walk while striking out six in his five innings. Juan Sanchez and Clay Helvey each threw two scoreless innings in relief, combining to allow just one Stockton hit and no walks with five strikeouts.

Jimmy Glowenke had three hits for San Jose and Abdiel Layer was 2-for-4 with a triple and two RBIs. Stockton’s Junior Perez had two of his club’s four hits.

Ragsdale leads the league in strikeouts (162), IP (108 2/3) and is tied for the league lead in wins (8). He’s fourth in the league in opponents’ batting average (.244). The Giants have the top four strikeout pitchers in the league and five of the top six.

San Jose had 12 hits, with all but one batter hitting safely.

The teams are set for the best-of-five championship series which starts on Tuesday, September 21st. The Fresno Grizzlies already clinched the other spot. Details on game times and locations to come.

GIANTS SHUT DOWN PORTS

Posted on July 25, 2021 by | Comments Off on GIANTS SHUT DOWN PORTS

The San Jose Giants bounced back from three straight losses behind three home runs from the offense and a dominant combined effort from the pitching staff to beat Stockton 8-1 Saturday night. 2B Jimmy Glowenke and SS Abdiel Layer hit back-to-back homers in the 3rd inning to put the Giants up for good and RHP Prelander Berroa (W, 3-3) allowed just one hit over six innings with no walks and nine strikeouts.

The Giants carried the 3-0 lead to the bottom of the sixth where they tacked on five runs with PH Jairo Pomares blasting a three-run homer, his 10th of the season. RHP Ivan Armstrong and RHP Clay Helvey covered the final three innings with just one run allowed on an RBI single by 3B Joshwan Wright in the seventh inning. The three San Jose pitchers combined for 3H, 0BB and 13 Ks.

Glowenke has found his stroke in July, slashing .346/.446/.615 with all four of his HRs. Pomares extended his hitting streak to six games and has gone 10-for-23 over that stretch with three doubles and two home runs.

San Jose (45-26) picked up a game on the first-place Grizzlies and will look for a series split Stockton on Sunday.

GIANTS WIN OPENER AGAINST QUAKES

Posted on June 23, 2021 by | Comments Off on GIANTS WIN OPENER AGAINST QUAKES

In a battle of first-place clubs, the San Jose Giants belted out 14 hits and drew eight walks to drop the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes 9-5 on Tuesday night. LF Alex Canario blasted two home runs (5, 6) and SS Marco Luciano hit his 9th bomb of the year.

Giants starter Ryan Murphy went 3 1/3 IP allowing 4 runs (3ER) on 5 hits and 2 walks with 6 strikeouts. The Giants bullpen stopped the back-and-forth scoring by holding the Quakes to just one run the rest of the way. Righty Austin Reich (W, 3-0) went 2 2/3 scoreless innings allowing just one hit and no walks with four strikeouts. RHP Clay Helvey finished off the game, going 2 IP with no runs, hits or walks and five strikeouts for his sixth save of the season.

The win put the Giants (29-14) up by three games in the North division while the Quakes’ lead in the South shrunk to 2 1/2 games.

VISALIA WALKS OFF WITH FOUR IN THE 9TH INNING

The  Visalia Rawhide beat the Fresno Grizzlies for the first time in 13 tries this season with a four-run bottom of the 9th inning to walk-off with a win. Fresno took a 9-6 advantage into the home half of the 9th but Visalia got what it needed as CF Glenallen Hill Jr. capped off the rally with an RBI single to win it, 10-9.

Each team scored in five different half innings. 1B Neyfy Castillo led Visalia’s 14-hit attack, going 3-for-5 with a triple. Reliever Bobby Ay pitched the final two innings, allowing one run on one hit and three walks with a strikeout and picked up the win when the offense came through.
