It was a hot Friday, and teams were scoring big runs all over the place, but not always in the Giants favor. Four home runs for Sacramento at Albuquerque powered that win, including two more by Armando Alvarez. Meanwhile Carter Howell had a home run and a double to lead Eugene and have a breakout game, while Grant McCray scored on a sacrifice fly…from second.
