Recap
51s
lefty Duane Below couldn’t repeat his efforts from his last two appearances,
when he needed less than 100 pitches for a complete game win, and then the Las
Vegas pen let this one get out of hand, as they lost for the second straight
night in Nashville. Below was similarly effective Saturday night, relying more
on his defense than missing bats, but that strategy doesn’t always pay off. The
Las Vegas lineup has cooled down some over this past week, and that trend
continued against Nashville starter Sean Nolin, who was effectively wild
through 4 IP, and then the Sounds bullpen. The 51s would jump out to a 1-0 lead
in this game, but Below couldn’t get the crucial third out in the 4th
or 6th innings without first allowing an RBI single. Scott Rice came
in with two on and one out in the 7th, and he failed to retire any
of the 3 batters he faced, 2 of which were lefties.
This
series continues Sunday afternoon at 3 PM, with Steven Matz scheduled to face
off against Barry Zito in a matchup of: young vs. old, hard vs. soft, future
vs. past.
Cory
Vaughn led off the 3rd with a single, and then came around to score
on a sac fly from Matt Reynolds.
Jayce
Boyd picked up his first AAA hit with a single leading off the 4th.
He’d add another single leading off the 8th.
Travis
Taijeron hit his fifth double of the year in the 6th.
Bonus
 |
| Reynolds does a nice job here, beats the runner by a step even though the ball gets stuck |
 |
| Just out of his reach, but if he could have knocked it down, the run doesn't score |
 |
| Batter would slam his helmet down in anger |
