Fresno Grizzlies News Release


Lake Elsinore, CA - The Fresno Grizzlies (8-13, 46-40) blanked the Lake Elsinore Storm (11-10, 43-42) 3-0 Sunday afternoon from Lake Elsinore Diamond. Fresno salvaged the final game of the six-game series, despite dropping four of the first five to Lake Elsinore. The Grizzlies enjoyed their eighth shutout win of the season; their first goose egg since Jack Mahoney's 9-inning, complete game shutout on June 21 versus Stockton. Fresno improved on the road to 6-2 on Sundays and 17-8 when crushing a clout (25-13).

The Grizzlies plated all three of their runs with two outs in the top of the third. Caleb Hobson roped a double and scored on a Braylen Wimmer RBI single. Wimmer's hit snuck past Storm shortstop Wyatt Hoffman and rolled into left-center field. Then, Andy Perez pounced on the first pitch he saw, sending a two-run homer over the wall in right field. It was Perez's seventh longball of the year. Hobson recorded a career-high four hits, adding three singles to his third inning double. Perez notched a double to go along with his wallop. Jason Hinchman drew two walks and was beaned once in the triumph.

Grizzlies' righty Jace Kaminska (5-4, win) was unbelievable all afternoon. Kaminska weathered the Storm offense for a career-high seven shutout innings. He gave up three singles and did not issue a walk, striking out a professional-best 10. Kaminska has walked one batter over his last six outings (three straight games without a walk), spanning 35 innings. He has 42 punchouts over that timeframe. Austin Becker (hold, 1) completed a 1-2-3 eighth with one strikeout while Cade Denton secured his first save with Fresno. Becker's inning ended on a Nick Gile circus-like play at first. Denton induced a double play to conclude the afternoon and shutout dub.

The Storm posted five hits, all for singles. Alain Camou spanked two singles in the loss. Isaiah Lowe (5-3) tossed five innings of three-run ball. Lowe fanned five as he was docketed the defeat. A quartet of relievers followed Lowe with four scoreless frames. Xavier Ruiz overpowered all three batters he faced, fanning the side.

The Grizzlies will enjoy a four-day All-Star Break before returning to action Friday, July 19 at Chukchansi Park. Fresno welcomes the San Jose Giants to town for a three-game set as the team transforms into the Lowriders de Fresno. You can grab your tickets now at FresnoGrizzlies.com.
