Fresno, California - The Fresno Grizzlies (10-5) faltered to the San Jose Giants (9-6) 3-2 Thursday evening from Chukchansi Park. Fresno succumbed to their first one-run loss of the 2021 campaign.

Julio Carreras highlighted the Grizzlies offense. The second baseman was a home run shy of the cycle, picking up a double in the first and a triple in the seventh. Luke Morgan also had a big night, securing a two-bagger and run in the fourth.

For San Jose, Ricardo Genoves enjoyed a solo shot in the second, his first of the year. Marco Luciano continued his strong series with a single in the fifth, tying the contest at two. The Giants would score the go-ahead run in the seventh off of a sacrifice fly by Garrett Frechette.

The back-and-forth affair logged the win for San Jose reliever Austin Reich (1-0). The righty struck out three over a pair of innings. Lefty Chris Wright followed Reich with two more frames of perfect work, recording the save. Both arms helped out starter Kyle Harrison, who fanned eight in three-plus innings. On the other hand, Fresno righty Will Ethridge hurled four and two-thirds frames. He punched out six, a career-high. Anderson Bido (2-1) took the defeat though for the Grizzlies.
