Recapish


            After finishing another rough home stand with a win Thursday, the Las Vegas 51s started their road trip with an 8-7 win over El Paso Friday. Rain knocked 51s starter Wilfredo Boscan out in the 2nd, but the Las Vegas pen was just effective enough over seven-plus innings to hold on for the win. The top three hitters in the 51s lineup combined for nine of the teams sixteen hits, but it was actually the 7-8 hitters that provided half the scoring for Las Vegas. Cody Decker and Victor Cruzado combined to reach base five times and made it around for a score in four of those instances. Kevin McGowan wrapped things up with a scoreless 9th for his fourth save of the year and has since been called up, so he may be done with Las Vegas for 2017.
            This game had a back-and-forth feel to it, but the 51s were ahead for most of the game. Gavin Cecchini started the game with a double and Matt Reynolds singled him home to make it 1-0 before an out was recorded. Reynolds was caught stealing in the frame but Travis Taijeron added a solo blast to double the 51s output.

            Franchy Cordero took Boscan deep to start the bottom of the 1st, cutting the 51s lead in half, but then Boscan retired five of six batters before the rains came.


            Victor Cruzado doubled the 51s score with a two-run shot in the 2nd, his seventh homer of the season. Cecchini, Reynolds, and Phillip Evans connected on three straight two-out singles later in the frame for another run, which made this a 5-1 game.

            Kyle Regnault took over for Boscan after the rain stopped and he quickly retired four straight out of the pen.

            The 51s didn’t score again until they put three on the board again in the 6th, but they got a hit in each inning between the three-run frames: Xorge Carrillo singled in the 3rd, Gavin Cecchini singled in the 4th, and Phillip Evans singled in the 5th.

            Since Regnault’s outing started so well, Manager Pedro Lopez tried to get another inning out of him in the 4th. Regnault hit a bit of a speed bump, however, allowing a run on four singles before a double play grounder ended the frame and his outing.


463

            Luis Mateo took over on the mound for Las Vegas in the 5th and El Paso was quick to pounce on him for a run. The first three batters reached on back-to-back singles and an RBI double, and although Mateo settled down after that, all three runners came around to score and make this a 5-5 game.


            That tie did not last long, however, as Cody Decker started the 6th with a solo blast. Las Vegas added two key insurance runs after that, and Victor Cruzado got that little rally started with a single. Jeff Glenn followed with a pinch hit double to get Cruzado to third, and then Cruzado came home on a groundout. Evans came through with a two out single for the final Vegas run of the game.

            New dad Ben Rowen took over for Las Vegas in the 6th and quickly retired the first two before running into some trouble. Cordero connected on a two out triple and then Diego Goris singled him home to make it 8-6.

            Reynolds added an 8th inning single for the 51s, but this time he was picked off by former Mets prospect Cory Mazzoni.


            Alberto Baldonado started the bottom of the 8th with a strikeout, but Chase d’Arnaud took him deep during the frame to make this a one-run game.


            Fortunately for Las Vegas, Kevin McGowan came in for the 9th and shut El Paso down. He finished the game with back-to-back strikeouts to (hopefully) cap off a pretty strong debut season in the PCL. His 4.06 ERA may not seem impressive, but that’s much better than the PCL league average of 4.81. Plus, he allowed 60 H in 62 IP and finished with 55 K: 24 BB, which is in line with what he did in Double-A last year. (Update: he was optioned down, but he'll be back).

K #2

            Looking ahead, the 51s will look to make it three straight wins Saturday behind Ricky Knapp, who’s been on a roll lately.
