Recapish
After
being signed out of Indy ball earlier this week, Darin Gorski made his return
to the organization starting for the Las Vegas 51s Friday night. Gorski was hit
around early and the 51s weren’t able to comeback in his season debut, but most
of the Las Vegas pen did get to rest, which was a minor victory for Manager Wally
Backman.
Gorski
found himself trailing 3-0 with just one out recorded in the 1st
after Kyle Jensen went deep for the 13th time this season. He didn’t
have good command early, but he got sharper later in the start. The Aces
managed just a pair of singles against him after the 1st inning, and
he left in a 4-3 game.
Unfortunately
for the 51s, Reno went to work on Gorski’s replacements Zack Thornton and Chase
Huchingson. The 51s radio feed wasn’t working, so I didn’t hear a Langer report
on who was available out of the pen, but I think the pen was still trying to
recover from their combined effort during Wednesday’s win. That’s likely why Wally
didn’t do his normal micromanaging and Chase Huchingson was left in for 44
pitches.
The
51s had a chance to tie this game in the 8th, but only scored one on
a hit that nearly left the park for a grand slam. I break down that play and
the other 51s scoring highlights below, so enjoy! With this series wrapped up,
the 51s head home to host the Sacramento River Cats. Game one is Saturday night
at 10:05 PM, and Rafael Montero (3-4, 5.78 ERA) is scheduled to make the start.
MiLB.tv Scoring Highlights
Brandon
Nimmo singled in the 1st to extend his hitting streak to 6 games,
but that also marked 20 of 21 games with a hit for the soon-to-be-Mets
outfielder.
After
falling behind 4-0 in the 1st, Las Vegas had a chance to really
break into that lead in the 2nd. Johnny Monell, Travis Taijeron, and
Kevin Plawecki led off the frame with singles to load the bases, but Vegas
managed just one run on a double play grounder in the frame.
Plawecki
and Gavin Cecchini started the 4th inning with singles and then Ty
Kelly double Plaw home before an out was recorded. Cecchini was come home on a
groundout to make it a 4-3 game.
Eric
Campbell picked up his hit leading off the 8th inning and eventually
came around to score. The 51s loaded the bases in the frame for Gavin Cecchini,
and he hit a 3-2 pitch that was destined for the bullpen in RF. Unfortunately
for Las Vegas, Mitch Haniger timed his jump perfect and was able to block it
from going out, although he couldn’t hold on for the ridiculous catch. Had
there been two outs, Cecchini would’ve at least ended up on 2B or 3B in a 7-6
game, but everyone had to hold up with only one out, so his hit only brought
home one run.
