Key Moments:

Saturday

            Duda struck out swinging (at an 89 MPH cutter) with two outs and the bases loaded in the 1^st.

            Wheeler allowed the first four batters of the 2^nd to reach – walk, double, RBI single, RBI single – which prompted a visit from Dan Warthen that appeared to do the trick, as he’d retire the next three batters on four pitches.

            A Flores throwing error (his first in the majors) with one out opened the door an unearned run to score later in the frame – took too long to get the ball out of his glove and then the throw tailed down the 1B line. Wheeler got Montero swinging, but hit Aaron Hill with a 2-2 fastball (95 MPH), before allowing a Martin Prado RBI single. As a side note, Wheeler ended up striking out the side in the inning.

Astro’s Play By Play

Recap:

            Fresh off a recent demotion from the A’s, Dan Straily went back to doing what he’s done in AAA the past two seasons – dominating – as he shut down the top offense in the PCL over 7 scoreless innings. The 51s managed to scratch out a run in each of the final two innings against the bullpen, but it was too little to late in what was the fourth straight loss for Las Vegas. Joel Carreno had a very nice start for the 51s but took the hard luck loss. Omar Quintanilla committed an error with two outs and nobody on in the 8^th that led to three unearned runs.
