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.
