Giants shut out Blaze in game one of division finals
By Matthew Martz / Photo by Frank Domingo Photography The Blaze were held to just seven hits losing 1-0 in game one of the best-of-five division finals against the San Jose Giants on Saturday afternoon at Municipal Stadium. Bakersfield put runners in scoring position nine times, but could not push a single run across the plate.
Blaze starter Ryan Tatusko (L, 0-1) gave on of his best performances this season striking out nine, walking one, and allowing five hits in six innings on the mound.
The games lone run came with one out in the bottom of the third when San Jose RF Francisco Peguero doubled to left. Peguero advanced to third on a wild pitch from Tatusko and then scored on an RBI single from Nick Noonan. Giants’ starter Clayton Tanner (W, 1-0) was solid for San Jose striking out four, walking none, surrendering no runs on seven hits in seven innings. Rafael Cova closed out the ballgame in the ninth; preserving the Giants slim margin over the Blaze and notching his first save.
Mike Bianucci, who has been on a bit of a cold streak, was 3-for-4 with a double, and Matthew Lawson singled twice and stole a base. The series continues with game 2 on Sunday at Municipal Stadium. Tim Murphy (7.60 RA, 6.80 ERA) faces Paul Osguera (3.94 RA, 3.77 ERA). First pitch is scheduled for 6:05 p.m.
