Recapish


            The Las Vegas 51s finally started showing signs of life again Tuesday night in Tacoma, charging from down 5-1 after six innings to take an 8-7 win over the Rainiers and even the series at one game apiece. In case the 30-48 record didn’t make it obvious, 2017 has been a bit of a down year for the 51s, and Tuesday night was shaping up to be another lackluster showing before things turned around late. Travis Taijeron led off the 7th with his 13th homer of the season, and that sparked a game winning 7-2 run for Las Vegas over the final three frames.
            51s starter Donovan Hand gave the team some length, but left trailing 5-1 after a pair of errors opened the door for three Tacoma runs across the 5th and 6th innings. It wasn’t his sharpest outing, as he was in trouble in every inning except the 4th, but he still would’ve finished with a solid line if not for the errors.

Rosario at shortstop

            Las Vegas started 0-8 at the plate, and a Phil Evans single was their only hit over the first three innings.


            Amed Rosario doubled the 51s hit total with a one out single in the 4th, and then came around to score when Dom Smith (single) and Kevin Plawecki (double) followed with hits of their own.

            Matt Reynolds singled in the 6th inning but would leave after six, so he may have be on call should the Mets decide to make a DL move.


            As mentioned, Taijeron led off the 7th with a solo blast to right center. Gavin Cecchini followed with a single two batters later, went to third on a Phil Evans double, and then scored on Victor Cruzado’s first hit of the night.

            Beck Wheeler took over on the mound for the bottom of the 7th and he gave those runs right back. Boog Powell and Tyler Smith connected for two RBI doubles in a three-batter span before he could escape the jam. Wheeler did strikeout D.J. Peterson during the frame.


            Dom Smith started the 51s big 8th inning with a walk, but then Plawecki and Taijeron went on strikes, so it looked like the 51s wouldn’t get anything out of the inning. But then Josh Rodriguez reached on an infield single, which prompted the Rainiers to make a pitching change, and they went to closer Jean Machi. Machi walked the first batter he saw out of the pen to load the bases for Evans, and he came through with an RBI single. It was up to Victor Cruzado with two outs in the 8th, and he cleared the bases with his fourth double of the season to tie the game at seven.

            Las Vegas went to reliable lefty Kyle Regnault for the 8th and he kept Tacoma off the board, striking out Steven Baron and working around a two out double in the frame.




            Machi stayed out for the 9th and Las Vegas made Tacoma regret that decision. Rosario started the frame with a triple to the right field corner and Dominic Smith singled him home to give the 51s their first lead of the night.

            Suddenly ahead, Las Vegas turned to Hansel Robles to close things out in the 9th. It was another high wire act for Robles, but he struck out two and kept Tacoma off the board to pick up his third save since joining the team.

K #1


K #2


            Looking to gain a 2-1 edge in the series, Las Vegas will hand the baseball to Wilfredo Boscan (3-5, 4.58 ERA) for his 14th start of the season Wednesday night. Boscan had to be carried off after taking a deflection to his leg early in his last start, so hopefully there’s no recurring injury problem for him Wednesday night. Game time is scheduled for 10:05 PM ET, and the 51s will be facing Casey Lawrence (0-0, 5.74 ERA).
