LANCASTER, Calif. - The JetHawks were shut out and held to just two hits in a 4-0 loss to San Jose Monday night at The Hangar. It marked the first home shutout loss for Lancaster since April of 2015.

Logan Longwith (0-1) pitched well in defeat, allowing four runs over six innings. San Jose (3-2) did all of their damage on offense in the fifth inning. Jalen Miller put the Giants on the board with a two-run double, and Heath Quinn smacked a two-run homer later in the frame.
Lancaster (3-2) got another strong effort from the bullpen, with Heath Holder and Alexander Guillen combining to throw three scoreless frames.
San Jose starter Raffi Vizcaino (1-0) retired the first nine batters he faced before surrendering a walk. Vince Fernandez singled in the fifth to give the JetHawks their first hit of the game. It wound up being one of just two hits for Lancaster on the night.
