RHP Zach Neal turned in a strong start to lead Las Vegas to its second straight victory over Salt Lake on Sunday.

Right fielder Ramon Laureano went 1 for 3, drew a walk, was hit by a pitch and stole a base and has now gone 4 for 12 during his rehab assignment. Shortstop Darell Hernaiz singled twice, walked and drove in a run, while catcher Kyle McCann singled in a run and drew a pair of walks. Third baseman Brett Harris had a pair of hits, including a double, and stole a base, and designated hitter Yohel Pozo singled, doubled and drove in a pair of runs for Las Vegas in the victory.
