Recapish

            The Las Vegas 51s dropped a second straight in Sacramento Tuesday night, as River Cats starter Matt Gage turned in seven sparkling innings for a 3-1 win. 51s starter Mitch Atkins wasn’t bad either, but his quality-start worthy outing got almost no run support. The 51s offense has been middle of the pack in the PCL this season, and this lineup was missing four of the teams top 2017 performers (Amed Rosario, Dominic Smith, Kevin Plawecki, and Travis Taijeron), so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that they struggled to score. Plus, three of Tuesday’s starters were playing for St. Lucie two weeks ago, and that’s a big jump.

Recapish

            The Las Vegas 51s road trip to Sacramento got started on the wrong foot Monday, as they took a 3-2 loss in the opener of their series with the River Cats. Luis Mateo made his third straight appearance as a starter for Las Vegas in the loss, and he finished just one out shy of what would’ve been his first five-inning performance in nearly 4.5 years. Mateo left trailing 2-1 but the 51s scored in the 7^th to get him off the hook for the loss. Unfortunately for Las Vegas, the River Cats got to Jacob Rhame during his second inning of work to jump ahead 3-2 and win the opener.

Recapish

            Las Vegas made it two straight over Fresno and five of seven overall with a 4-3 win Wednesday night. Mike Hauschild was the story of this game early, as he retired the first fourteen 51s batters in a row to generate a little buzz, but then Cody Decker ruined his perfecto bid and stole the show. Decker knocked in three of the four Las Vegas runs with two massive bombs, the first of which broke up Hauschild’s attempt, and the second one gave Las Vegas its first lead.
