Modesto, CA. - Brett Kennedy shutdown the Modesto Nuts' bats in the Nuts' 5-0 loss to the Lake Elsinore Storm on Monday night at John Thurman Field.

After striking out the first man he saw in the ninth, Rodriguez walked a man and hit a batter before Ricardo Valenzuela knocked him out with a two-run double.
