WP: McGough 2-0 / 3.15

HR: Cortes (12), Harris (6), Davidson (3), Langeliers (1)

Left fielder Carlos Cortes continued his hot hitting to help lead Las Vegas to its second straight victory over Albuquerque on Thursday. The 27-year-old outfielder, who was signed as a minor league free agent in the offseason, went 4 for 5 with a home run and a double, drove in a pair of runs and scored twice. Cortes has now gone 8 for his last 9 with 4 extra-base hits and 7 RBI. His 12 home runs and 56 RBI trail only teammate Colby Thomas among A’s minor leaguers, while his .576 slugging percentage and .973 OPS are both bests among Las Vegas hitters with at least 150 at-bats this season. Third baseman Brett Harris and shortstop Logan Davidson each singled and homered, with Harris driving in 3 and Davidson driving in a pair. First baseman Brennan Milone singled, doubled, tripled, drew a walk and scored 4 runs, while catcher Shea Langeliers went 3 for 5 with a home run and drove in 3 runs in his second rehab game with the Aviators. Starter Mason Barnett gave up 5 runs in 4 1/3 frames, while RHP Scott McGough allowed 1 run in 2 2/3 innings of relief to pick up the win, and RHP Anthony Maldonado notched the final two outs in the 9th to secure the save for Las Vegas.
