Prospect Of The Day: Catcher Kyle McCann (2 for 4 / 2 Home Runs)

PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE  (TRIPLE-A)

El Paso Chihuahuas   6

Las Vegas Aviators   7

WP: Garcia 1-1 / 3.43

HR: McCann 2 (7), Gelof (5)

Catcher Kyle McCann hit a pair of home runs to lead Las Vegas to its third straight victory over El Paso on Sunday. The 25-year-old former 4th-round draft pick slugged a solo shot to put the Aviators on the board in the 3rd inning and then socked another solo shot to tie the game in the 5th, and McCann is now sporting a slugging percentage of .548 this season. Second baseman Zack Gelof singled, walked, homered and drove in a pair, while right fielder Cody Thomas had 4 hits, including a triple, and drove in the winning run in the bottom of the 9th as Las Vegas won in a walk-off. Starter Aaron Wilkerson allowed 3 runs over 5 frames, while LHP Francisco Perez permitted 3 runs in 1 1/3 innings of relief. RHP Spencer Patton tossed 1 2/3 scoreless innings, and RHP Rico Garcia threw a scoreless 9th to notch the victory for Las Vegas.
