Jose Capellan gets win, Tobi Stoner hard luck loss

11/4/09 Game
The Gigantes improved to 6-1 at home (0-8 on road). Luckily, this was the first of 4 strait home games.

For Gigantes, Juan Francisco had 2 RBI, Wilson Betemit had a solo home run, and big leaguer Wilson Valdez (Mets in 2009) scored 2 runs. Jose Capellan (Astros, AAA Round Rock Express last year) got his first win after 6 shutout innings, and Dario Veras (who is going for the all time saves record) got his 3rd save. Dario is know as el flaco de oro (the golden skinny guy).

Conor Jackson had 2 more hits for Escogido, and Tobi Stoner (2-1) got the loss, though he pitched 7 innings and gave up only 1 earned run. His ERA is 1.13 in 24 innings. He could be starting for the Mets soon.
