Recap


            The Fresno Grizzlies jumped out to a big lead against Luis Cessa Monday night, while the Las Vegas never really got going against Brett Oberholtzer, which led to a third straight loss for the 51s. Cessa was wild early and then hit hard in the 3rd, as the Grizzlies jumped out to a 7-1 lead that knocked him out after 3 IP. The 51s activated Tyler Pill before the game, and he was effectively wild in his first appearance since 6/29. Chase Huchingson and Vic Black both allowed a run out of the 51s pen after Pill went 3 innings, but the game had felt over long before either entered.
            Due to the AAA All-Star break, Cessa hadn’t pitched since 7/9, so if he rebounds over the next few starts, then we can probably just blame this start on rust. He threw a first pitch ball to the first four batters of the game, and each would come around to score. After rebounding with a perfect 2nd inning, the Grizzlies rallied for 3 runs on a pair of doubles, an RBI single, and an RBI triple.
            The 51s would manage only 3 hits in the game, and only one came after the 4th inning. Brandon Allen got them on the scoreboard with a leadoff homerun in the 2nd, lining a blast just over the RF wall. In the 4th, Travis Taijeron singled Zach Lutz (walk) to 3B, and then Lutz came home on an RBI groundout from Brandon Allen. The only other Las Vegas hit was a double from Cory Vaughn in the 7th.
            This series continues Tuesday night at 10:05 PM, with Matthew Bowman (6-10, 5.53 ERA) scheduled to pitch for Las Vegas.
