MODESTO, CA. - A big offensive night backed up Logan Gilbert's gem as the Modesto Nuts ended a three-game losing streak with a 7-1 win over the Stockton Ports on Saturday night at John Thurman Field.

Logan Gilbert (W, 3-2) allowed a RBI single in the first inning. That was all the Nuts' (30-39) righty starter would give up over 6.1 innings. Gilbert struck out eight and walked only one.

It was a short-lived lead for the Ports (32-35) after the first-inning run. Keegan McGovern connected on a two-run homer in the bottom of the first. Johnny Adams and Joe Rizzo smacked back-to-back RBI doubles in the second inning against Gus Varland (L, 0-1). The Ports' righty worked four innings allowing four runs on six hits with six strikeouts.

The Nuts opened the game up in the eighth inning with a RBI single by Jake Scheiner and a two-run knock by Eugene Helder.
