Recap


            Las Vegas starter Matt Bowman battled to keep the 51s in it over his 5 laborious innings, but his offense did little battling against the PCL’s active ERA leader Forrest Snow to support him. Bowman would allow multiple base runners to reach in every inning except the 2nd, which went 1-2-3, but he limited the Rainiers to just 3 runs. T.J. Rivera had a big night at the plate, finishing just a homerun shy of the cycle, and continuing his recent white-hot streak – he has a 1.000+ OPS over his last 18 games. The 51s got the tying run to the plate with Rivera in the hole in the 9th, but Taijeron and Tovar went down swinging to end the game before he could come up.
            This series continues Thursday night at 10:05 PM, with Darin Gorski scheduled to pitch for Las Vegas.



Scoring Highlights


            T.J. Rivera led off the game with a double.


            Matt Reynolds hit a solo homerun leading off the 4th.




            Rivera tripled leading off the 8th, and then scored on a groundout from Reynolds.
