in the first game for Las Vegas, Matt Bowman pitched reasonably well, but the Las Vegas bats were entirely silent causing Matt to fall to 5 - 10.

in the second game, Gorski pitched extremely well, tossing 6 innings without an earned run or walk, while striking out 10 and lowering his ERA to 4.76.

And Alex Castellanos blasted a two run homer, his 15th, giving him 51 RBIs and a .299 BA.
