Recap:


            The Las Vegas 51s and Tacoma Rainiers officially split a double-header Tuesday night, but the only thing anyone will be talking about is the performance from Noah Syndergaard in game one. He was awesome. It looked like he had a plan to start every inning, as he was mixing up his pitches and working ahead in the count much of the night. The 51s offense jumped on Rainiers starter James Paxton in the 1st inning of game one – M∂D would give Thor all the offense he needed when he deposited the fourth pitch of the game beyond the RF wall. Josh Satin contributed a two-run homerun in the first inning as well, and it was all about the pitching the rest of the way.
He won’t get as much attention, but M∂D had a ridiculous night, combining to go 5-8 with 2 doubles, a homerun and 4 RBI. His strikeout rate is down to an average PCL rate, which is a sign that he can make adjustments at a level if given time. I still think he’ll surprise us all by breaking out in the majors at some point. This is what he’s hitting since his demotion: .394/.468/.679 with 12 doubles, 5 triples, 3 homeruns, 17 RBI, 4/6 SB, and 18 SO: 14 BB in 124 PA.
The offenses stayed dormant throughout game two, but the Rainiers were able to score three runs against Alvarado before knocking him out after three. Things could have ended up worse for Alvarado, but he caught Ty Kelly looking with runners on 2B and 3B to end the 1st. Muno singled, stole second and scored on a Seratelli single to tie the game in the top of the 3rd, but then the Rainiers bounced back with two in the bottom half. M∂D would hit a two-out double to drive in two runs in the 7th, but the late charge came up just short.


Gifs:

Matt ∂en Dekker


Led off game one with this homerun

Ripped this single to RF
This ball would bounce out of play for an RBI ground-rule double
Slapped this single through the SS hole in game two
Made things really interesting in the seventh inning of game two

Matt Reynolds

Reynolds had this single up the middle
He was called safe stealing 2B
He was called out trying to steal 3B

Wilmer Flores

Flores hit the ball on the nose a few times yesterday, but this was ruled an error - no more hit streak

Josh Satin

Satin made it 3-0 in game one with this bomb

Daniel Muno

Muno had this single in game one
He'd steal a base and score a run after this single in game two

Cesar Puello

This Puello single was very similar to two of his hits from Monday night
