Giants Down Quakes in Ten on Saturday

Rancho Cucamonga, CA – The San Jose Giants won their second extra-innings game of the series on Saturday night, sending the Quakes to a sixth straight loss overall, a 10-4 final at LoanMart Field.

The Giants tallied six runs in the tenth inning, with Elian Rayo blasting a three-run homer to cap the outburst, giving the Giants their fifth straight win in the series and an opportunity to sweep the six-game set on Sunday.

Trailing 4-3 in the eighth, Rancho’s Jose Meza (4) blasted a game-tying homer to open the inning against Giants’ reliever and eventual winner Ubert Mejias (2-1).

Tied at 4-4 in the tenth though, the Giants got something going against Myles Caba (3-1), who had retired all six batters he faced prior to the tenth. Rayo capped the inning with his second homer of the year, a three-run shot off Domingo Geronimo, making it 10-4.

The Quakes (33-23) lead the South Division by five games, now with ten to play. On Sunday, they’ll send Aidan Foeller (2-2) to the mound against Giants’ right-hander Drake George (2-1) at 2pm.
