Recapish


            The Las Vegas 51s dropped their second straight in Albuquerque Saturday night, as the Isotopes pitching staff limited the 51s offense to just one run. Las Vegas starter Wilfredo Boscan matched Friday’s starter Donovan Hand with six innings of two-run ball, but Boscan got even less support from his offense and relief than Hand had received. The 51s struggled to generate offense because all eight of their hits were singles and they were involved in three double plays
            Albuquerque’s Jordan Patterson tripled and scored the games first run in the bottom of the 2nd. Boscan would face just one batter over the minimum over his next three frames, but then ran into trouble again in the 6th. The Isotopes connected for three singles and a sac fly to make this a 2-0 game in the 6th.

            The 51s scattered five singles over the first six innings, and two of those runners were erased on double plays: Dom Smith singled in the 1st, Travis Taijeron hit his in the 2nd and 4th innings, Wilfredo Boscan singled in the 3rd, Gavin Cecchini singled but was thrown out as part of a K/CS double play in the 6th.

            Las Vegas finally broke through for a run in the 7th to make it a 2-1 game. Taijeron worked a walk and came around to score on back-to-back singles from Josh Rodriguez and Phillip Evans.

            Just like in game one Friday night, as soon as the 51s pulled to within a run, the Isotopes responded with multiple runs against the Las Vegas pen. Luis Mateo was the victim this time. He issued two walks and uncorked a wild pitch in the frame, as the Isotopes doubled their score to make this a 4-1 game.

            Outside of a two out single from Cecchini in the 8th, he 51s went down quietly after that.


            Looking ahead, the 51s will try to salvage a game from this series Sunday night behind Ricky Knapp.
