Recapish

            The Las Vegas 51s were shutout and took a 10-0 beating in the third game of their series with El Paso Sunday afternoon. 51s starter Mickey Jannis was better than in his first outing, but he still left down 3-0 after just four innings. Reliever Logan Taylor took over for Jannis and was smacked around over his two innings of work, which left Las Vegas down 10-0 after six innings. Meanwhile, El Paso starter Eric Lauer tossed one of the best outings of his pro career, finishing with 10 strikeouts over six scoreless innings while allowing just three hits (I’ve included a GIF of each punch out below).

Recapish

            The Las Vegas 51s jumped ahead big early in El Paso Saturday night only to be rudely reminded that no lead is safe in the PCL, as the Chihuahuas came back from down seven to take an 11-7 win over the 51s in game two of this four game set. 51s starter P.J. Conlon was perfect over the first two innings while his teammates built up a 7-0 lead, but then El Paso started smacking him around in the 3^rd and knocked him out in the 4^th. It was as if someone turned a switch that controlled offense before the 3^rd inning after accidentally leaving it pointing at the 51s over the first two innings. The 51s bats went quiet after the 2^nd and El Paso exploded for eleven runs against three 51s pitchers over the next four innings.

Recapish

            The Las Vegas 51s took the opener of a four-game set in El Paso 7-1 Friday night behind a great performance from starter Corey Oswalt. The 51s gave Oswalt an early lead and he gave the team a much better performance than in his first start against El Paso on opening day. After a few huge games in Albuquerque, Ty Kelly stayed hot in this one with a two-hit, two-RBI, one-double performance. David Thompson also kept heating up at the plate and is now 6 for his last 13 after starting the season in a 2-14 rut. With the win, Las Vegas has its first mini ‘winning streak’ of the 2018 season.
