Fresno, CA - On Mother's Day, the Fresno Grizzlies (16-11) mustered a 3-2 win over the Modesto Nuts (13-14) Sunday afternoon from Chukchansi Park. The victory awarded Fresno a series split and improved them to 5-2 in one-run games.

Fresno jumped ahead 1-0 in the second when Juan Guerrero laced a single to left field, adding Juan Brito. In the fourth, a fielder's choice netted the second Grizzlies run. Adael Amador made it 3-0 in the seventh when he lifted a sacrifice fly to left. Modesto cut the lead to one in the eighth after an Edwin Arroyo solo homer and a Fresno miscue.

The Grizzlies lineup finished the contest with seven hits. Warming Bernabel and Guerrero each recorded two hits. Bernabel extended his hit streak to 10 games, a current team and season-long. Bryant Quijada lengthened his hit streak to six contests while Brito reached base three times thanks to a pair of walks and a double.

Fresno starter Mason Green (2-1) relished the triumph after a career-high seven, scoreless innings. The lefty allowed five hits and one walk while fanning seven. He gave way to Sergio Sanchez and Juan Mejia, who both picked up a hold. Tyler Ahearn rounded out the game with a 1-2-3 ninth, logging his first save of 2022.

On the other side, Nuts righty William Fleming (1-3) surrendered to the defeat after five frames of two-run ball. Modesto accumulated nine hits with three batters (Arroyo, Ben Ramirez and Brett Rodriguez) rocking multi-hits. The clubs are both off on Monday before returning to action on Tuesday.
