Cal League Condensed: 7/16 Preview

I'll be going on vacation tomorrow, so regular updates aren't likely until 7/25 or maybe 7/26. I'm hopeful that internet will be available for at least a little bit, but right now I have my doubts. You can check scores on milb.com, and most team websites write game recaps every night.

Modesto Nuts v. Lancaster JetHawks 7:00 PM PT
Juan Nicasio v. Leandro Cespedes
Notes: Modesto is going for a series sweep... Five of Juan Nicasio's last seven starts lasted seven innings or longer... Nicasio struck out eight in four of his last six starts... Leandro Cespedes got his first win of the season in his last start... Cespedes allowed four runs in 11.1 IP over two starts in his return to the rotation... Game will be available on 970 AM in Modesto and 1380 AM in Lancaster as well as www.jethawks.com and www.milb.com...

Inland Empire 66ers v. Lake Elsinore Storm 7:05 PM PT
Ethan Martin v. Nick Schmidt

Schmidt has averaged less than three innings per start in the second half...
