PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE (TRIPLE-A)
Las Vegas Aviators 5
Sugar Land Space Cowboys 3
WP: Acton 2-1 / 4.85
HR: Bride (2), McCann (1)
Las Vegas battled back to secure its sixth victory in its last seven games on Friday. Catcher Kyle McCann singled home a run in the 7th to briefly give Las Vegas a one-run lead and then slugged a solo shot in the top of the 9th to give his team a two-run cushion. Third baseman Jonah Bride homered in the 5th to tie the game, while left fielder Trenton Brooks singled, doubled, drew a walk and scored twice, and designated hitter Dermis Garcia tripled in the tying and winning runs with two outs in the top of the 8th for the Aviators. Starter Hogan Harris was solid, allowing just 1 run while striking out 4 over 4 frames. RHP Zach Neal, who was recently signed to a minor league deal and was just added to the roster on Friday, gave up 2 runs in 2 1/3 innings of relief to turn over the lead. RHP Garrett Acton notched two outs in the 7th to pick up the win, and RHP Rico Garcia tossed a scoreless 9th to notch the save for the Aviators.
