The Las Vegas Review Journal looked at some proposed Las Vegas Stadium Venues, and discussed the potential new ballpark in Summerlin for the 51s: “So, don’t be surprised if the team owners… build their own ballpark near Red Rock Resort and Downtown Summerlin in four years or so.”

Minors MVP of the Day – Kevin Canelon was nearly perfect over 8 innings, and he reached a double-digit strikeout total for the second time in 3 starts.

Minors Cy of the Day – I don't want to get in the habit of having two pitchers sweep these awards, but how can you argue with what Canelon and Thomas McIlraith did tonight?
