PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE (TRIPLE-A)
Las Vegas Aviators 12
El Paso Chihuahuas 7
WP: Dugger 1-0 / 3.75
HR: Nevin (3)
Left fielder Tyler Nevin homered for the second straight night to help Las Vegas secure its sixth straight victory on Thursday. Nevin doubled in a pair of runs in the 2nd inning to briefly give Las Vegas the lead, then drove in the go-ahead run again with a sacrifice fly in the 5th, and then, with the game tied 7-7 in the top of the 8th inning, Nevin stepped to the plate and slugged a shot deep over the left field fence to provide the margin of victory for the Aviators. Right fielder Ryan Noda singled, doubled, tripled, drew a walk and scored 3 runs, while designated hitter Jordan Diaz collected 3 hits and scored twice, and first baseman Yohel Pozo doubled twice and drove in a pair for the Aviators. Starter Brandon Bielak was charged with 6 runs in 3 1/3 innings of work, while RHP Robert Dugger allowed just 1 run over 4 frames to earn the victory for Las Vegas.
