Triple-A - Las Vegas 51s (6-6)__________________________________
LAS VEGAS 9, SACRAMENTO 3, (Box)
For the first five games of the 51s current road trip, they have struggled picking up timely hits. That wasn't the case last night, as the team went 6-for-15 with runners in scoring position on their way to a 9-3 win over the Sacramento River Cats. Most of the damage came in the fifth inning when the 51s scored four times with a Matt Reynolds solo home run, a Dilson Herrera double and a two-run double off the bat of catcher Rene Rivera. In his first start of the season, left-hander Duane Below was serviceable, tossing six innings of three-run ball while scattering seven hits and punching out five batters.
