Recapish

            The Las Vegas 51s came out on the wrong end of a back-and-forth affair in Salt Lake Monday Night, taking a 7-6 loss to the Bees in the series opener. Sean Gilmartin started for the 51s and had a 3-0 lead after three innings, but the Bees would get to him for six runs over the next two frames as they knocked him out early. Las Vegas would tie the game up again in the 7^th, but Salt Lake took the lead right back in their half thanks to a little two out rally.

Recapish

            The Las Vegas 51s troubles continued Thursday night in Round Rock, as they fell 10 games below .500 after a 6-4 loss to the Express. 51s starter Sean Gilmartin was knocked out down 4-2 in the 5^th, but Brandon Nimmo got those runs right back after he left. Unfortunately for the struggling 51s, the bats went quiet after that and Ben Rowen allowed a two run homer in the 8^th, which proved to be the difference in this game.

Recapish

            The Las Vegas 51s made it two straight over the Baby Cakes Saturday night in New Orleans, using a balanced offensive attack to back a strong effort from Sean Gilmartin and the 51s pen. Gilmartin had to work hard to just allow two runs over the first two innings, but then figured things out for three great frames before reaching his pitch limit. Brandon Nimmo and Travis Taijeron led the 51s charge with three hits each, but the 51s got contributions from everyone two through five in the lineup, plus a long three run blast off the bat of Xorge Carrillo in the 8^th.
