Recap

            The Las Vegas 51s got another big night at the plate from Dilson Herrera Sunday in Albuquerque, but Rockies stud Jon Gray shut down the rest of the lineup over his 5 innings, and the Isotopes bullpen followed suit over the final 4. 51s starter Logan Verrett was pretty solid, but 3 of the 4 hits he allowed went for doubles, and the Isotopes built a 3-1 lead with him on the mound. Albuquerque would add on against the 51s bullpen, and Las Vegas finished their post All-Star road trip with two straight losses.

            Dilson led off the game with a triple into the right center field gap that rolled to the wall, but Jon Grey stepped it up and struck out the next 3 batters. Gray was in control throughout his 5 innings, and the Isotopes announcer kept talking like this would be his last AAA start – see below for his 7 strikeouts. After Verrett set down the first 3 in order, the Isotopes would pick up 4 hits and a walk from their next 8 batters. Kyle Parker and Angelys Nina doubled in the 2^nd inning, and Jeremy Barfield followed Nina with an RBI single. In the 3^rd, Tim Wheeler led off with a walk, and then Trevor Story doubled him home to give the ‘Topes a 3-1 lead.

            Parker added an RBI double against Bradford in the 6^th inning, and then Roger Bernadina tacked on a three run homerun for Albuquerque in the 8^th. Las Vegas had cut the lead to 2-1 when Dilson scored in the 3^rd, but they’d hardly threaten after that – check out the scoring highlights below.

            The 51s head home Monday night to start a series with Fresno, and Luis Cessa is scheduled to make the 10:05 PM start.
