The Fresno Grizzlies averaged more than eight runs and 11 hits on their recent eight-game road trip. Those red-hot bats turned into Popsicles on an unseasonably cold and breezy Friday evening at Chukchansi Park as the Colorado Springs Sky Sox cooled off the Grizzlies 5-1 before an announced crowd of 10,360.

Back to work: Fresno, still in first in the Pacific Coast League's Pacific Southern Division despite a recent cold spell and a series of call-ups by the parent San Francisco Giants, returns tonight from an off-day to begin a four-game series at Round

The Fresno Grizzlies' bottom line took a beating in 2011. That gives Fresno City Hall, the Grizzlies' landlord, another reason to worry. An independent audit shows the Triple-A baseball team lost $1,017,835 last year on revenue of $6.4 million.

For maybe the first time in his career, Nick Noonan is showing some of the potential that made him the San Francisco Giants' first-round pick in 2007.

After such smooth sailing during the season's first month, the Fresno Grizzlies have hit choppy seas. Not even the largest regular-season crowd in Chukchansi Park history -- 14,023 -- could right the suddenly listing Grizzlies, who were edged 6-5 by the Iowa Cubs on Friday night.

Tough one: The Iowa Cubs opened an early six-run lead and held on for a 6-5 victory against the Fresno Grizzlies on Friday night before the largest regular-season crowd in Chukchansi Park history: 14,023. Iowa hit three solo homers off Fresno starter Matt
