PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE (TRIPLE-A)
GAME #1
Las Vegas Aviators 4
Sugar Land Space Cowboys 0
WP: Morris 1-1 / 4.98
RHP Kade Morris turned in his best start of the season to help Las Vegas sweep Thursday’s doubleheader and run its winning streak to 11 games as the Aviators clinched the Pacific Coast League first-half title and secured themselves a postseason playoff spot. The 22-year-old righty, who was acquired from the Mets last summer in the Paul Blackburn trade, threw a 7-inning, complete-game shutout, allowing just 3 hits while notching 6 strikeouts without issuing a walk to earn the victory for Las Vegas. Designated hitter Brennan Milone doubled, walked twice, stole a base and scored a run, while right fielder Nick Martini doubled, drew a walk and scored a run. Shortstop Darell Hernaiz singled in a pair of runs, and second baseman Zack Gelof went 0 for 2 with a walk and scored a run in his second rehab game with Las Vegas.
