Recap
I
guess the 51s offense still hasn’t made it through baggage at the Las Vegas
airport, as their dreadful road trip continued against Tim Cooney and the
Redbirds Tuesday night. It’s the second shutout thrown against the 51s in 3
games, and they’ve scored just 3 runs during the first 5 games of this trip.
Surely the home ballparks have made a difference, but this is what happens when
an entire lineup gets cold at once, and I expect them to break out with a
vengeance against some poor PCL pitcher soon – they do get the boost of Danny
Muno coming back from the Mets. Bowman essentially made one mistake in the
game, leaving a fastball down the middle the was deposited well beyond the LF
wall, so hopefully he can build on this despite the less than stellar final
line. The bullpen did a solid job, although Jon Velasquez couldn’t work around
poor defense behind him in the 8th, allowing the Redbirds to add
some unnecessary insurance runs.
Check
out highlights from this game below, including more on Bowman. This series
continues Wednesday night at 8:05 PM, with Logan Verrett scheduled to re-enter
the 51s rotation.
Matt
Reynolds hit a one out single in the 1st for the first of only 4
hits from Las Vegas.
Travis
Taijeron led off the 5th with a single, but the 51s never got anything
going.
Bonus
Pitcher Coverage
Matt Bowman
Much
better start from Bowman in this one, as he was nearly unhittable over the
first 4 innings – he had allowed a walk and two singles (one infield single)
entering the 5th. He allowed a leadoff single on his first pitch of
the 5th, and the next batter Jacob Wilson tried to lay down a bunt
against Bowman’s next pitch, but it popped up and went foul. Bowman would fall
behind 3-1 on Wilson, before grooving a fastball that was deposited way beyond
the LF wall – pitch was middle-middle, and Wilson unloaded on it. Bowman would
retire the next two batters on groundballs, but then the pitcher kept it going
with a single, which eventually led to two more runs, although they would be
unearned since they came after a Castellanos error.
