Wednesday, they got jumped and were Blood-ied.
The Giants scored twice in three of the first four innings to take a 6-0 lead and starting pitcher Darin Blood shut down the California League's most potent offense in a 7-3 win in front of 2,175 opening-day fans at San Jose's Municipal Stadium.
Lancaster manager Dave Brundage looked for a silver lining in the loss.
"We put a little pressure on (the Giants), and that's encouraging," he said after watching the JetHawks leave 15 on base for the second time in the season's first seven games. "We needed to get that one (hit) to put us over the hump."
Lancaster pitcher Marino Santana (0-1), starting his second game of the season, just didn't have it Wednesday.
The 24-year-old right-hander got behind hitters early and often in his three-inning stint, and 40 of his 78 pitches went for strikes and he walked three, two of which came around to score.
"(Santana) didn't have his best stuff tonight," Brundage said. "In order for Marino Santana to be successful he needs to be in good command."
Blood (1-1), a right-hander out of Gonzaga University, limited the JetHawks to one run in five innings with seven strikeouts.
The Giants got things going in the first with two runs. Bobby Bonds Jr. led off with an infield single and Wilson Delgado followed with a single to left.
First baseman Jesse Ibarra, who hit 34 homers at Burlington of the Midwest League last year, then stroked a double to the right field corner that scored Bonds and Tim Garland had a sacrifice fly to drive in Delgado to made it 2-0.
The Giants scored twice in the second to make it 4-0. Bonds had an RBI single and Garland had his second sacrifice fly to highlight the rally.
Santana ran into trouble again in the third after a liner off the bat off Edwards Guzman bounced off second baseman Jason Cook and ricocheted into left field which put runners at second and third.
Santana came back to strike out Alex Morales and Jose Alguacil to end the threat.
San Jose made it 6-0 in the fourth off Tim Trawick, who came on in relief of Santana.
Bonds walked and scored on a triple to deep center field to make it 5-0.
Ibarra followed with a drive that was just out of reach of a diving Jose Cruz Jr. in left-center to make it 6-0.
The JetHawks finally got a run in the fifth on Carlos Villalobos' RBI groundout with the bases loaded.
Left-hander Philip Bailey came on to relieve Blood to open the sixth, and Bailey looked like a pitcher with an ERA of 81.00 (three earned runs in a third of an inning).
After two were out, Mike Lanza and Shane Monahan both singled - Monahan's was a drag bunt. After both runners moved up a base on a wild pitch, Cook ripped a two-run single into left field to make it 6-3.
Cruz doubled down the left-field line, moving Cook to third. But James Clifford grounded out to second.
The Giants added a run in the seventh when Bonds, who started the season 0-for-5, doubled home Alex Morales to make it 7-3.
