On the mound, Stockton starter Jefferson Jean turned in his best outing of the season, tossing seven shutout innings of one-hit baseball while striking out six. The bullpen combo of Felix Castro and Alejandro Manzano combined to strike out three more over the final two frames without allowing a baserunner, completing the one-hit shutout. Modesto's lone knock came from CF Carlos Jimenez, who also stole a base in the first inning.
For the Nuts, starter Jeter Martinez allowed three runs (two earned) over four innings and took the loss to fall to 1-6 on the season. The Modesto bullpen struggled to keep Stockton in check, with all four relievers surrendering at least one run. With the loss, the Nuts drop to 46-38, while the Ports improve to 38-46. The two teams continue their series Friday night in Modesto.
