Recap:
Noah
Syndergaard bounced back after his worst 1st inning of the year to
keep the Las Vegas 51s in the game long enough to come back and win it against
New Orleans Friday night. The 51s would slowly fight their way back into a 6-5
lead by the end of the 5th, while Thor dialed it up to have a very
impressive stretch of four innings. Unfortunately, after having been given a
lead, Thor would allow the Zephyrs to tie the game back up in the top of the 6th,
although he worked out of what could have been a much worse inning for him. Zack
Thornton came in and looked so sharp with the game tied the 7th that
Wally Backman had no reason to worry about sending him back out for the 8th,
now pitching with a lead. Thornton was not as effective in the 8th, leaving
with only one man retired and the 51s in a tough spot. Jack Leathersich would
come in for the second out of the inning, a strikeout, but Wally Backman chose
to bring in Chase Bradford for the final out. Bradford would get the third out
of the inning, but not before allowing the tying run to score. Bradford and
Reid would combine to keep the Zephyrs off the scoreboard the rest of the way,
allowing for a walkoff win in the 11th. Offensively, Matt Reynolds and Daniel Muno were huge for the 51s, combining for half of the teams hits.
