*All results from games played on Wednesday, June 22, 2016

Triple-A - Las Vegas 51s (39-33)________________________________

LAS VEGAS 12, RENO 10 (Box)

Las Vegas and Reno combined for 22 runs 24 hits, so really, it was just another one of your typical Pacific Coast League games. The 51s offense was clicking on all cylinders, led by Dilson Herrera and Brandon Nimmo, who combined to knock in nine runs. Nimmo is now 6 for his last 11 over his past four games. The 51s had a 5-1 lead until Reno scored five times to take a 6-5 lead in the bottom of the sixth. Las Vegas then put up a five spot of their own in the eighth inning, highlighted by a Herrera grand slam. It was his 11th home run of the year. The pitching staff did not fare too well in this one with starter Duane Below proving to be ineffective in his 5.1 innings of work. Jeff Walters and Josh Edgin did little to limit the damage. However, Las Vegas held on for their fifth straight win.
