STOCKTON, Calif. — The Giants took game five by a score of 7-1 on Saturday night, setting up a series-deciding showdown on Sunday. The Ports will aim to win the series while San Jose will try to salvage a split.
The Giants struck early and kept the Ports bats quiet. San Jose got to Ports starter Jefferson Jean on a walk and a pair of doubles to go up 2-0 in the first. They’d tack on one more in the second on a sac fly from Bryce Eldridge for a 3-0 lead.
San Jose would get two more to expand their lead to 5-0 on a Scott Bandura double in the fourth. The Ports got one back in the sixth when Myles Naylor hit a rocket to center with the bases loaded for a sac fly to make it 5-1. But the Giants would get a double-play off the bat of catcher Carlos Amaya — who had Stockton’s only extra base hit of the night — to end the inning.
The Giants would put the game out of reach with two more runs in the ninth to go up 7-1. The Ports were held to three hits on the night, while San Jose put up 11.
