Recapish

The Las Vegas 51s and Oklahoma City Dodgers locked horns in a great pitcher’s duel Saturday night in OKC, with the 51s taking the L after blinking first. It was a battle of top pitching prospects – one current and one former – and they lived up to their best reputation, but neither would factor in the decision.

Montero and Urias traded zero’s and the heads up strikeout advantage until both left after 6 innings, with Montero having the slight K advantage. Two of the hits Urias allowed were infield singles, and he faced just one over the minimum thanks to a pair of double plays and pickoffs. Montero didn’t allow a hit until the 5^th inning, and the second hit he allowed was of the infield variety.

Josh Edgin was the first out of the 51s pen, and while he threw less than 50% strikes, he faced the minimum and kept OKC scoreless. Jeff Walters could not do the latter in the 8^th, surrendering the games only run on a leadoff blast by Jack Murphy. Chin-hui Tsao came out for the OKC save after they jumped ahead in the 8^th and he’d work around a pair of singles to finish the shutout.

There are a pair of 51s offense highlights and a pitch log with GIF’s for Montero and Urias below, so enjoy! This series continues Sunday afternoon at 3:05 PM ET, with Seth Lugo (3-2, 7.20 ERA) scheduled to pitch for Las Vegas.
