San Jose, CA. - Another quiet night for the Modesto Nuts' bats resulted in a 2-0 loss against the San Jose Giants on Wednesday night at Municipal Stadium.

He struck out four and walked one while giving up eight hits in six innings. The lone runs scored on Jonah Arenado's RBI double and Jose Vizcaino's sac fly.

Reyes Moronta (S, 4/4) worked a perfect ninth for the Giants.
