Las Vegas 11, Tucson 3

Wilmer Flores clubbed two home runs Thursday for the Las Vegas 51s in an 11-3 victory against visiting Tucson in the first game of the four-game series at Cashman Field. Flores went 4-for-5 with four RBIs to pace a 16-hit attack for Las Vegas, including a two-run home run in the 51s’ five-run fifth inning. Zach Lutz and Matt den Dekker also homered for Las Vegas, which put the game out of reach with four runs in the eighth inning. Jamie Hoffmann had three hits, and den Dekker had three hits and three runs scored.

Rafael Montero tossed two scoreless innings in this game — but was pulled in order to stay fresh for the futures game on Sunday. The same tactic was used with Noah Syndergaard. Justin Hampson, Sean Henn, Greg Peavey and Robert Carson combined to complete the game for Montero, who got a ton of offensive help.

The series continues at 7:05 Friday.
