The San Jose Giants shook off a sluggish start to the series offensively against Modesto with a seven-run, 10-hit output on Saturday night en route to a 7–4 victory over the Nuts at Excite Ballpark. The Giants (45–29, 5–3 second half) had been held to a total of only six runs over the first four games this week, including getting shutout on Friday before bouncing back at the plate Saturday evening to claim their second win of the series.
