Modesto, Calif. -- The Modesto Nuts' second half of California League play started more than a week ago, and a fresh look at the North Division standings has the club at 4-8 and — again — tied for last place with Stockton, an early parallel to the fate they experience in the first half.
Bakersfield has been the club's bugaboo of late, with the Blaze sweeping a four-game series at John Thurman Field this weekend. The last seven days, in detail:
