Media Contact Information Juliana Paoli, San Jose Giants Chief Marketing Officer (408) ext. 21 Juliana@sjgiants.com Media Notes compiled by: Joe Ritzo Joeritzo@sjgiants.com Giants Return Home To Begin Four-Game Series Against Modesto Tonight The two-time defending California League champion San Jose Giants begin a seven-game homestand this evening with the first of four straight contests against the Modesto Nuts at Municipal Stadium. San Jose won two out of three from the host Visalia Rawhide in their most recent series, including a 10-3 victory in the rubber game on Saturday. Gary Brown led a 13-hit offensive charge with a 3-for-5 performance at the plate. Brown hit a go-ahead three-run inside-the-park homer in the fourth inning while also finishing with four RBI s. Nick Liles contributed three hits and James Simmons added a two-run home run for the Giants. Jake Dunning was credited with the win after tossing a career-high six innings with three runs (all earned) allowed, no walks and five strikeouts. Balanced Team The Giants enter tonight s game ranked first in the California League in ERA (2.88) and second in batting average (.287). On the mound, San Jose has thrown a league-best four shutouts with the other nine teams in the league having combined for only six shutouts. The Giants have also issued the second-fewest walks (50) and allowed the secondfewest home runs (8). Offensively, San Jose is second in runs scored (6.6), second in stolen bases (30) and tied for fourth in home runs (16). Cavan s Power Surge Second baseman Ryan Cavan has recovered from his early-season slump with three home runs in the last six games. Over the last seven contests, Cavan is 12-for-28 (.429) with 15 RBI s. The Bay Area native endured a 1- for-28 slide over a seven-game span earlier this season. He s now tied with Chris Dominguez for the team lead in home runs (4) while ranking first in the California League in RBI s (20). Big Wins And Close Losses The Giants have lost their seven games this season by a total of just 10 runs. San Jose is 1-5 in one-run games and 0-1 in two-run games. By comparison, the Giants are 8-0 in games decided by four runs or more and have scored in double figures in six out of their 10 wins. Run Differential The Giants have outscored the opposition by a margin over their first 17 games of the season. That +58 run differential is tops in the California League. The Bakersfield Blaze (+45) and Rancho Cucamonga Quakes (+6) are the only other teams in the league that have outscored the opposition. Brown Extends Hitting Streak To 12 Games, Leads Baseball In Stolen Bases Center fielder Gary Brown has hit safely in 12 straight games and is batting at a.412 clip (21-for-51) during the streak. Brown was San Francisco s first round draft pick last June after setting the Cal State Fullerton single-season record for batting average (.438) en route to garnering First Team All-American honors. Brown has at least one hit in 16 out of his first 17 games this season. Additionally, his 15 stolen bases not only lead the California League but are tied for first (with former SJ Giant Emmanuel Burriss) in all of Minor League Baseball.
