The Aviators outlasted the Rainiers on Sunday to climb back within one game of .500, and catcher Yohel Pozo led the Las Vegas attack. The 26-year-old Venezuelan backstop collected 3 hits, including a double and an 8th-inning home run, and scored twice, and he’s now 7 for 14 with 4 extra-base hits over his last 4 games for the Aviators. Shortstop Nick Allen singled twice, doubled and drove in a pair, while second baseman Hoy Park had 2 hits, stole a base and drove in a run. Third baseman Brett Harris singled, walked and stole a base, and rehabbing designated hitter Aledmys Diaz went 1 for 3 with a double and drove in a pair. 28-year-old RHP Robert Dugger, whom the A’s recently signed to a minor league deal, allowed 2 runs and struck out 5 over 4 frames in his first start for the Aviators, while RHP Gerardo Reyes struck out the side in the 5th inning to pick up the victory for Las Vegas.
