*All results from games played on Friday, July 7, 2017

Triple-A - Las Vegas 51s (34-54)

ALBUQUERQUE 6, LAS VEGAS 4 (Box)

After falling behind by two runs in the second inning, the 51s took some time to score but tied the game with a pair of runs in the fifth and scored one run in the sixth and one more in the seventh. But that two-run lead disappeared in the bottom of the seventh, as Alberto Baldonado gave up four runs in just one-third of an inning. Amed Rosario got the night off, but Dominic Smith went 2-for-4 with a home run.
