Four wins out of five = a really nice night for the farm teams. The offense was especially impressive - as were the performances from two catchers. Las Vegas 7 Portland 2 The offense was working again Friday night and JP Arencibia led the way with two homers and six RBI. The catcher has had a disappointing season, but he's ending the year strong with a .302 average in the last 10 games, as well as...

As the season winds down in the minors the affiliates won two of five games last night. Las Vegas won on the strength of a one hit-around inning while some of Auburn�s bats came to life, at least temporarily. Meanwhile, Lansing and Dunedin both lost by two and the Fisher Cats lost a tough game. Players with the initials A and M turned in the two best performances on the farm. Fresno 8 @ Las...

The top two minor league affiliates swept a doubleheader of sorts against their San Francisco counterparts and number three laid the smack down on a Yankees affiliate. Those are the highlights of a 3-2 night on the farm. Las Vegas 7 Fresno 3 Las Vegas, NV - It didn't look like this one was going to go the 51's way after the first two-and-a-half innings. Former Twin/Brewer/Royal/Giant Matt Kinney, who...

The GCL Blue Jays won in extras thanks to a wild eleventh inning. Meanwhile, Las Vegas won a rare 1-0 game with a four-man shutout. New Hampshire lost and Dunedin split their doubleheader because of a Tampa grand slam in the first game, but won the second on a three-run triple by Eric Thames. Auburn and Lansing won by the same 3-1 score with key relief being provided by Mathew Morgal and Jason Roenicke,...

Four losses and two games were postponed or cancelled. Ho hum. Reno 6 @ Las Vegas 4 � Boxscore Fabio Castro started and nearly got the quality start, going 5.2 innings and allowing three runs. He struggled with his control, walking five against five strikeouts. Bill Murphy entered in relief and took the loss to fall to 0-6. Murphy surrendered two runs on two hits and two walks in 1.2 innings...

The teams whose cities begin with "L" get the "W's" Tuesday night. Go figure! The 51's get the big inning twice, the Lugnuts are on the right side of a split against their Tigers counterparts and a strange injury in Auburn sidelines the Doubledays best hitter in a 2-4 night for the affiliates. Las Vegas 11 Salt Lake 6 Salt Lake City, UT - The 51's went all haywire and gave the Bees...

Two wins in seven games. It seems relatively typical for the way things are going right now with this organization. One of the wins came in Las Vegas behind David Purcey and the other came behind a big night at the plate for Lansing. Tim Collins took a rare loss in New Hampshire and Dunedin lost a twin bill. Meanwhile, Auburn suffered another loss and the GCL Blue Jays fell apart in extra innings....

Three wins in four tries. Ryan Schimpf went 4-4 with a home run to lead Auburn to victory. TJ Beam pitched well as Las Vegas won. And the GCL Jays won a slugfest 12-11, Michael Crouse is heating up and he added four more hits in this game. New Hampshire took the only loss for the affiliates as a two out error in the ninth proved costly. Brad Emaus however hit a home run and had three RBI's. Dunedin...

The Jays' affiliates need help! Too bad they won't be getting it from three of their top 4 picks, as James Paxton, Jake Eliopolous, and Jake Barrett failed to sign on draft deadline day. Albuquerque 4 at Las Vegas 3 Fabio Castro pitched well, allowing 2 runs in 7 innings. Unfortunately, the bullpen couldn't hold Albuquerque at bay, and the 51s lost a squeaker, 4-3. Kevin Howard singled, homered and...

A 3-2 night for the affiliates featured a pair of excellent starts and another nice performance by a Double-A speed demon. Albuquerque 2 Las Vegas 5 A pretty tidy game for the 51s. Buck Coats and Howie Clark each had a pair of hits while Brian Dopirak doubled and Travis Snider singled in a run. It was also a true outcome night for J.P. Arencibia who went 1-for-4 with three strikeouts and a homerun....

The big boys were 0-3 on the night but the short-season teams picked up the slack with three wins. Dunedin's game was postponed due to rain. Albuquerque 12 Las Vegas 6 The Dodgers affiliate peppered the 51s pitchers with 20 hits and scored 12 runs. TJ Beam allowed six runs on 12 hits and one walk over six innings. Brian Wolfe worked two scoreless innings with three Ks, but then Richie Lewis and Zach...

David Cooper had a big night, three hits including a two run game winning home run in the ninth inning. Lansing won in extra innings, or rather South Bend loast it as the Lugnuts last five runs were unearned. The GCL Jays won behind a three hitter. Las Vegas, Dunedin and Auburn each lost. Las Vegas 4 Iowa 5 Las Vegas jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead in the first inning. Howie Clark doubled, Travis Snider...
