Recap
The
Las Vegas 51s spoiled a great performance from Dillon Gee Sunday evening in
Round Rock, losing because they couldn’t convert on their scoring chances
against the Express pitching. Gee was masterful against the young Round Rock
lineup, and he set a season high with 10 strikeouts, including 2 of young stud
prospect Joey Gallo, and 5 in a row at one point. Gee’s changeup has generally
been considered his best pitch, and the threat of that pitch allowed him to
throw his 90 MPH heat by good fastball hitters all night – again, this included
Gallo. He did allow a homerun to Jared Hoying in the 3rd, but he
otherwise limited the hard contact from the Express batters.
An
error from Brandon Allen opened the door for a 1st inning run for
the Express, and it would’t be the only misplayed ball behind Gee on Sunday.
Travis Taijeron gave the 51s a 2-1 lead in the 2nd inning, but that
wouldn’t last long, as the Express jumped back in front 3-2 in the 3rd.
The 51s would scratch out a run against the Round Rock bullpen in the 7th,
but the Las Vegas bullpen didn’t do much better in the 8th,
surrendering the go-ahead runs as the 51s fell for a third straight night.
Las
Vegas returns home for a crucial 4-game set with El Paso to start the week.
Darin Gorski (10-8, 5.18 ERA) is scheduled to pitch opposite Robbie Erlin (6-6,
6.04 ERA) at 10:05 PM, with 1.5 games separating the two teams within the PCL
Pacific Southern division. The end of the series could decide which team goes
to the playoffs, or these two teams could end up in the same spot with 4 fewer
games left to play. Either way, this is what watching a baseball team all
season is all about. Watching your team fend off 1st place in the
final week of the season, with a postseason berth on the line – it will be soooooooooooooooooooooooo… much sweeter if
the Mets can hold on and clinch the NL East.
An
error from Brandon Allen opened the door for a 1st inning run for
the Express. Drew Stubbs reached on the fielding error, stole 2B, and then
scored on an RBI single to CF from Ed Lucas.
Kevin
Plawecki led off the 2nd inning with a single into LF, and then
Travis Taijeron launched his 24th homerun of the year to give Las
Vegas a 2-1 lead.
Jared
Hoying tied the game for Round Rock with his 22nd homerun of the
year in the bottom of the 3rd, and then the next 3 Express batters –
Stubbs, Nomara Mazara, and Lucas – singled home a run to take back the lead at
3-2.
After
a pitching change in the 7th, Las Vegas would tie the game with a
two out rally. Matt Reynolds extended the inning with his only hit of the game,
and then the next two Las Vegas batters walked (Brandon Nimmo and Eric Young
Jr.) The Express would have to go to their bullpen again for the final out, but
Eric Campbell singled home the tying run before the frame ended.
Joey
Gallo finally broke through for a hit in the 8th inning, which
advanced Lucas (walk) to 2B, and then Brett Nicholas singled them both home
with two outs later in the frame to give Round Rock the 5-3 lead that they
would win by.
