I attended this game.  It was a picture perfect day in Rancho Cucamonga after a spring storm although it got pretty warm sitting in the sun.  Thankfully I was in the upper deck and got some shade from the stadium roof in the later innings.  I was excited to see Jhonny Level warming up and his name at the top of the lineup.  He did not disappoint, hitting a home run on the first pitch of the game over the left field scoreboard.  He went on to have a rough day defensively.  Junior Barajas is tall for a catcher.  He also hit a home run over the 401 ft sign in left-CF.  Keyner Martinez looked great through 3 perfect innings with a sinker that sat 95-96 MPH.  A lead off bounding ball that was misplayed by Dario Reynoso at 2B in the 4'th inning seemed to distract Martinez.  He didn't make it out of the inning and was charged with 4 runs.  After that, the SJ pitching was terrible and the defense was almost as bad and the Quakes won in a route.
