Eugene Notes:

  • Vancouver had pulled ahead 3-1 in this game going into the 6th inning, but an Eugene rally got started with a Jimmy Glowenke single and a Luis Toribio double, and was finished by a Marco Luciano 3-run home run that put Eugene up 6-3.  Vancouver made it close, but reliever Juan Sanchez struck out the side with two runners on in the 9th inning to get the save.
  • Marco Luciano was 1-for-4, but the hit was the big one that gave the Emeralds the lead and the win.  Luciano had 11 home runs in the regular season.  This is his second career postseason home run, as he had one in four games with Eugene last season.
  • Luis Matos was 2-for-5 on the day with a pair of singles.  So far, Matos is 5-for-10 with two doubles in the two playoff games so far.  Last season in San Jose, he hit .300 (3-for-10) with a home run over three games.
  • Hunter Bishop was 2-for-3 with two walks, a double, and a stolen base.  Bishop has shown up well in the first two games of these playoffs, going 4-for-8 with a double, two steals, and two walks with one strikeout.

San Jose Notes:

  • This game was over pretty early, as San Jose had given up three runs before getting any outs and gave up six runs total in the first inning mostly on the back of Nick Sinacola.  San Jose was down 8-0 by the time they came up to bat in the 3rd, when they did score three runs, but they didn’t put up a real offensive threat the rest of the way.
  • Yorlis Rodriguez had the team’s biggest hit, hitting a home run to left to kick off the 3rd inning rally.  Rodriguez had 16 home runs in the regular season, along with 20 doubles and two triples in 105 games.
  • Adrian Sugastey was the only Giant with multiple hits, going 2-for-4.  With San Jose, Sugastey hit .240 in 75 games, with 11 doubles, one triple, and five home runs in the regular season.
  • Logan Wyatt was 1-for-3 with a walk in his first playoff game with San Jose.  After spending much of last season in High-A, Wyatt only began this season in Arizona for 18 games before playing 11 in San Jose, batting .191/.264/.255.
  • It just wasn’t good for Sinacola, who went 0.1 innings and allowed six runs on six hits and one walk, getting that only out on a strikeout.  It was a disappointment as he had a great season, with a 3.86 ERA and had 116 strikeouts to 39 walks in 102.2 innings.
