Right fielder Colby Thomas had a big day at the plate to lead Las Vegas to its tenth straight victory on Tuesday. The 24-year-old outfielder tagged a pair of home runs along with a double and scored 3 runs for the Aviators. Thomas is now 7 for 17 with 6 extra-base hits in his last 4 games, and he leads all A’s minor leaguers with 40 hits, 18 extra-base bits and 26 RBIs while sporting a slugging percentage of .557 on the season. Second baseman Max Muncy went 3 for 5 with a pair of doubles, drew a walk, drove in a pair and scored 3 runs, while left fielder Drew Avans singled twice, walked twice, scored twice, stole a base and drove in a run. Designated hitter Carlos Cortes drilled a pair of doubles, drew a walk and drove in 3, and third baseman CJ Alexander slugged a solo shot for the Aviators. RHP Joey Estes turned in a strong start, allowing just 2 hits and striking out 5 through 6 shutout innings to earn the win, while RHPs Dylan Floro, Ryan Cusick and Tanner Dodson each tossed a scoreless inning in relief to complete the six-hit shutout as Las Vegas ran its league-best record to 24-10 on Tuesday.
