Marcus Knecht had four hits and two home runs; Ryan Schimpf had two hits in one inning, one of them a home run; Anthony Gose had two hits, including a two run triple; and Kenny Wilson and Kevin Pillar each had three hits with a triple. The farm delivered two wins, one loss, and a rainout.
Andrew Carpenter got his second spot start in Joel Carreno's spot. He lasted 3.2 innings and was charged with one run on three hits. Four relievers combined to limit Oklahoma to just three hits over the last 5.1 innings.
Las Vegas scored their first run in the first inning. Adeiny Hechavarria and Anthony Gose started the game with singles but it needed a two out single from Yan Gomes to get the first run on the board. In the second inning Gose tripled in two more runs, and then scored on an error. That triple was the only extra base hit of the game for the 51's. Gose, Hechavarria and Ricardo Nanita each had two hits. With the win Las Vegas move to 16-16 on the season and have been playing well after a slow start.
