Recapish


            The Las Vegas 51s started their road trip on a high note Thursday night in Tacoma, taking the opener of their series with the Rainier 7-3 thanks to some big flies. Two 51s recently demoted from the Mets made the biggest impact, as both Michael Conforto and Kevin Plawecki went deep with men on base for Las Vegas. Starter Darin Gorski was much more effective in his second start with the team, cruising through most of his 7 innings.
            Gorski allowed a leadoff double to Norichika Aoki in the 1st inning, and he came around to score and give Tacoma an early 1-0 lead. Gorski then retired the next 11 Tacoma batters in a row as his teammates built up a 5-1 lead. The Rainiers put together one more scoring threat against him in the 7th when the first two reached, but then Gavin Cecchini started a key double play to help bail him out of the threat.
            This 51s lineup featured 4 who have played for the Mets in 2016, so of course they were reliant on the homer to score. Check out the homer highlights and how they scored their other runs below! This series continues Friday night at 10:05 PM, with Rafael Montero (4-4, 6.13 ERA) scheduled to start for Las Vegas.


MiLB.tv Scoring Highlights


            Kevin Plawecki led off the 3rd inning with a single, although he’d be replaced on the base paths by a fielder’s choice during the frame. The baserunner upgrade benefitted Las Vegas, as Ty Kelly stole 2B and scored on Gavin Cecchini’s 15th double of the season. Michael Conforto then launched his first ever Triple-A homer to make it a 3-0 game.




            Eric Campbell led off the 4th inning with a single and came home on Kevin Plawecki’s first Triple-A homer of the season.



            Johnny Monell led off the 6th inning with his 12th homer of the season.


            Ty Kelly doubled home Roger Bernadina (walk) in the 9th.
