Over his last seven games, he's 15-for-19 (!!!) with three walks, a double and today's two-run home run. Todd Linden's walk off RBI double won the game fro the Grizzlies. this was his first game in the last four without drawing two walks. Santa Cruz native Tyler LaTorre was playing in his third game of the year, having gone 0-for-4 in his first two games.

Wendell Fairley broke a 3-for-19 streak with his three-hit day. He's still batting just .196 on the season. Chris Dominguez picked up a pair of doubles, and just his first RBI in the last seven games, and his first walk since April. His on-base percentage inched towards .300, sitting at .293.
Craig Westcott wasn't dominating, getting just one strikeout. But he was effective. He gave up one earned run for the third straight game. He also hit his first career home run, knocking in more runs than he gave up.
A+: San Jose defeated Modesto, 10-9 (scoring a run in the top of the ninth after blowing the lead in the eighth)
San Jose: CF Chris Lofton: 3-for-6, 2 R, 2 2B (6), 1 RBI, 1 SO, 1 SB (3)

Chris Lofton is now on a 11-game hitting streak, and it's his fifth multi-hit game in the streak. Andrew Susac got his first multi-hit game since mid-April, raising his average to .247. He does have eight walks in his last nine games, going 7-for-28. Ricky Oropesa had his second-straight game with two hits.
Reigning Cal League Pitcher of the Week had an inning to forget. Needless to say, every stat was a season-high or low, whichever was worse. Seth Rosin has four saves in his last five appearances, and this was one of his best, not allowing any base runners. He's still allowed just a little more hits (13) than innings pitched (12 2/3).
A-: No Game Scheduled
League Leaders on Augusta:

Let's just say it hasn't been a good year for any particular individuals
