Minors MVP of the Day – A couple of tough choice, but Alex Castellanos gets the nod for having three hits, including a double and a homerun that put Las Vegas ahead for good in game two.

Minors Cy of the Day – As if there is any doubt, Thor had the type of start fans have been waiting to hear about since last spring. He had some good starts in 2014, but usually had a rough inning or two mixed in. Tonight was clean, as he faced one over the minimum, and could've gone 9 if this wasn't a minor league double-header.
