Triple-A - Las Vegas 51s (3-5)
FRESNO 12, LAS VEGAS 4 (BOX)
Fresno took a 7-0 lead against Donovan Hand after two innings last night, paving the way for a 12-4 defeat for our Pacific Coast League heroes. The offense was held in check for most of the night as well, as the three runs scored in the bottom of the ninth served only to make the final score look a more respectable. Dominic Smith continues to hit, as his 2-for-4 night increased his average through eight games to .406.

Double-A - Binghamton Rumble Ponies (4-3)
BINGHAMTON 7, ERIE 5 (BOX)
The Rumble Ponies downed the Seawolves 7-5 last night in the home opener behind six strong innings from P.J. Conlon. Bingo took a 7-0 lead after four innings, but after a nervous seventh inning in which a Kevin Kaczmarski error led to three unearned runs, Erie brought the tying run to the plate against Luis Mateo. However, Mateo was able to induce a line out to the aforementioned Kaczmarski to end the inning. Alberto Baldonado then continued his sizzling start to the season, pitching two perfect innings to earn his first save of the year.
