Modesto Nuts struggle in first homestand of the season

Players for these Nuts were weak defensively, going 2-5 for their first games at home.

Modesto has been weak defensively, with 13 errors on the homestand. 13. That's not funny at this point. After watching their awful, awful 11-8 game against Visalia as their last game before a road trip, the holes in the defense showed.

Here's the thing about the Nuts: they have the potential. They've got a roster that has top prospects, so there's no reason they shouldn't succeed eventually. But a slow start shouldn't be something to worry about, unless it carries over into July.
