Despite being in last place, Vegas continued their impressive run and won their ninth straight game.  Andy LaRoche went two for five with a homerun and four RBIs.  Marshall McDougall went three for five with a double, a homerun, three RBIs and two runs while Chin Lung Hu continued his impressive season with another great game.  He went three for four with a double, an RBI and four runs.

Miguel Pinango improved to 6-4 on the season with the win.  He gave up four runs (three earned) on five hits and two walks with six strikeouts in six innings of work.

John Lindsey had a huge day at the plate in Vegas’ 14-9 win over Portland.  He went three for three with two homeruns, a double and six RBIs.  Andy LaRoche also went yard twice and he drove in four runs.

Spike Lundberg didn’t have his best stuff but it was good enough for the win.  He gave up five runs on six hits and two walks with five strikeouts in five innings and the win pushed his record to 5-4 on the season.

William Juarez improved to 2-2 on the season with a nice start in the Las Vegas’ 4-2 win over Memphis.  He gave up one run on six hits with four strikeouts in six innings.

Mitch Jones hit a two run shot and that was his nineteenth homerun of the season for the big first baseman.  Matt Kemp hit a solo shot and Andy LaRoche went two for three with two doubles and a run.

Las Vegas got plenty of offense in their 9-5 win over Colorado Springs.  Kelly Stinnett homered and drove in three runs while Andy LaRoche went an impressive three for five with a solo homerun and two runs scored. 

Greg Miller threw six no-hit innings and he picked up the win.  He walked to and struck out four while improving to 1-0 on the season.

D.J Houlton threw a very nice game as he pitched seven shutout innings against Colorado Springs.  He improved to 2-0 on the season and he gave up just three hits and a walk with seven strikeouts.

Choo Freeman provided most of the offense with a three run homer.  Andy LaRoche also had a nice game at the plate and he went two for three with a walk and two runs.

Eric Stults got it done on the mound for the 51s with another solid start.  He gave up just one run on eight hits and a walk with six strikeouts in the 2-1 win.

All of the offense was provided by Andy LaRoche.  His two run homer accounted for both Las Vegas runs.  Tony Abreu singled and he scored on the homerun.

Just about everyone was a hitting star in Colorado Springs.  Mitch Jones had just one hit but it was a big one.  His grand slam in the first inning kicked things off for what would eventually be a 14-5 win.  Choo Freeman had four hits and three runs while Andy LaRoche hit his first homerun of the season.

Travis Smith had a nice start and he picked up the win.  He gave up two runs on six hits and two walks with four strikeouts in five innings.

This looked like a fun game.  Las Vegas came back from two runs down and tied it in the eighth, both teams scored a single run in the tenth and then finally Salt Lake ended it in the twelth with a homerun by Angels’ top prospect Brandon Wood.  I know the good guys lost, but this would have been a cool game to be at.

D.J. Houlton gave up two unearned runs on three hits and three walks with five strikeouts in 4 2/3 innings.  At the plate, Mitch Jones had a big game at the plate. He went two for four with a homerun and two RBIs.  Andy LaRoche singled twice and scored two runs while Delwyn Young had three hits, including two doubles, a run and and an RBI.

Baseball America took one last look at the Dodgers spring camp with a “who’s hot” and “who’s not” format.  James Loney had a prominent place with his great spring and Tony Abreu gets some time.  Andy LaRoche and Scott Elbert showed up in the “who’s not” category.

Baseball America recently unveiled their Top 100 prospect list and four Dodgers made the cut.  Andy LaRoche topped the Dodgers and came in at number 19 and Clayton Kershaw wasn’t too far behind at number 24.  Scott Elbert was 31 and James Looney was at 44.  Four guys in the top fifty is definitely a good thing.
