Recapish

The Las Vegas 51s clicked on all cylinders over the past 3 days in OKC, winning all 3 games to take the series after the Dodgers won the opener 1-0. Gabriel Ynoa made the start for Las Vegas in the finale Tuesday afternoon and had one of his least effective outings of the year, but it was still good enough for a quality start and his 5^th win.

The Dodgers struck first thanks to a pair of doubles in the 2^nd inning. The second double was on a fly ball hit by the pitcher that Travis Taijeron definitely should’ve caught – he broke in and didn’t have time to recover.

Ynoa would strand a runner in scoring position over the next two frames while Las Vegas built up a 5-1 lead. The 51s offense has been red-hot over the past 3 weeks, with 7 regulars posting an OPS north of .900 since 4/25, and the offense machine kept going in this game – check out the details with highlights below!

The Dodgers struck for two more against Ynoa in the 5^th when James Ramsey went deep for the 4^th time this season. It was only the second homerun Ynoa has allowed in now 50+ innings of PCL work, but it came right after his third walk of the start – that’s high for Ynoa. He finished his outing with a perfect 6^th inning, which was his first 1-2-3 inning of the game.

Josh Edgin came in for the 7^th and made quick work of the top of OKC’s lineup. He hasn’t allowed a run since his first outing with St. Lucie, but he also hasn’t pitched on consecutive days yet.

OKC started to make this game interesting with two runs against Jeff Walters in the 9^th inning. The runs came after an E5, so they were unearned, and Walters would close the door before this game got too interesting.

The 51s have Wednesday off while they travel to Colorado Springs for 4 with the Sky Sox. The reigning PCL Pitcher of the Week Rafael Montero (2-1, 3.94 ERA) is scheduled to pitch for Las Vegas in the series opener. He won the award thanks to great starts against OKC and against Sacramento last week.

Scoring Highlights

After falling behind in the 2^nd, Las Vegas jumped ahead with 2 in the 3^rd. Daniel Muno doubled Nevin Ashley to 3B with 0 outs and T.J. Rivera singled both runners in with two outs.

Ty Kelly led off the 4^th inning with a single into CF and came around to score on 3 straight walks. Brandon Nimmo also took a bases loaded walk in the inning, and T.J. Rivera made it a 5-1 game with his second RBI single in as many innings.

Kelly doubled Travis Taijeron home in the 7^th inning, and then scored on Marc Krauss’ 7^th bomb of the year.

Brandon Nimmo hit a liner into CF that went for a triple with two outs in the 8^th.

Defensive Highlights

Danny Muno showed off his range at SS in this game.

Dilson Herrera made a nice play to get the force out at 2B in the 1^st inning.

T.J. Rivera committed a throwing error at 3B, but he made some nice plays at 3B too.

Gabriel Ynoa and Josh Edgin fielded their position just fine.

Nimmo had a long way to run for this pop up.
