Las Vegas 3, Reno 2

The 51s went right back to work after the Triple-A AS Break against Reno last night, and thanks to Jordany Valdespin, were able to pick up the win. The second baseman had run-scoring singles in the second and sixth innings, and Matt den Dekker hit a solo home run in the seventh for the game-winning run.

Jacob deGrom looked solid on the other end of the spectrum, pitching into the seventh and allowing just two earned runs. DeGrom is on a pretty solid streak of pitching recently and could eventually be looking at a call-up to the majors — by September at the latest. Robert Carson pitched a scoreless ninth for the save, giving Las Vegas a leg up in the first game of an eight-game home-and-home series with Reno.
