Rancho Cucamonga, CA – The Quakes endured their worst defeat of the year on Thursday night at LoanMart Field, suffering a 14-0 loss to the Modesto Nuts.
Michael Arroyo slugged his fourth homer of the year and drove in a game-high five runs, while Modesto starter Brody Hopkins (1-1) tossed five shutout innings for his first win of the year.
Rancho starter Payton Martin (0-2) allowed two runs in the first, but eventually settled down to give the Quakes three innings of work.
Trailing 2-0, the Quakes brought reliever Gabe Emmett into the contest and he immediately struggled, as Modesto poured it on, sending Rancho to their season-worst fifth straight defeat.
Rancho finished with just three hits on the night as they were shut out for the first time this year.
