Vega Goes Downtown 3 Times Against Killer Whales
stadiumreport.bbn

October 3rd, 2021

Whatever Omar Vega(23, 5*) ate for breakfast before his game against the San José Killer Whales, it gave him some impressive power.

The Las Vegas catcher smacked three balls up and out of the park at Ballpark of San José. His home run barrage helped the Gamblers defeat the Killer Whales, 14-1.

"When they throw it in your wheelhouse, you've got a shot at a homer," he told BNN reporters after the game. "I got three shots today and nailed them all."

On his 3-homer day, he went 3-for-4, scored 4 times, drove in 6 and put on a display that history will remember.

Omar Vega hit a two-run home run off Danny Arauz in the 1st, walked in the 2nd, flied out in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off Justin Hagen in the 6th and hit a two-run home run off Justin Hagen in the 8th.

Vega is hitting .337/.402/.663 in 2021 with 108 RBIs and 43 home runs good for 8.6WAR, leading all of NMLB in WAR, batting average and OPS as well as slugging percentage.

Week 26: 3@ Salt Lake City Bearcats(78-71), 4vs Pittsburgh Kings(73-76)

September 27th

Expos Lose in 6-4 in Extras Despite 5-5 Day for Messer

The Salt Lake City Bearcats beat the Montreal Expos, 6-4, at Bearcats Park. The win was due in part to right fielder Brian Ward, who was 2-3 with a home run, a double, and 2 walks, while scoring 2 and driving in 2. The win puts Salt Lake City at 79-71 this season.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the tenth. With one out, Ward hit a curveball from Ryan Rasbach for a 2-run home run. The Bearcats, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"It doesn't matter if you're 10 games over .500 or 10 games under, it feels good to win," Ward told the Salt Lake City News. The 3x All-Star is batting .305-35-112 .913OPS 3.2WAR in 143 games.

The star for the Montreal Expos was Ian Messer however. The right fielder went 5-5 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored. He is batting .268-10-46 .710OPS 0.4WAR in 121 games and finally showing signs of his 2020 version.

Austin Roy(R, 8-14 4.69) – Nick Moritz(R, 8-8 4.68) tomorrow. Fifth season for him, won 13 in 2019.

Moritz Dominates Expos En Route to 3-0 Win

Salt Lake City pitcher Nick Moritz did his part in helping his team defeat the Montreal Expos, 3-0. The opposition could never get too much going against the left-hander. Brendon Miller was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 9 of 11 save opportunities. Salt Lake City has won 3 straight, while Montreal has lost 3 in a row.

Moritz, who dominated for Salt Lake City, earned the victory to move to 9-8. He was in control the whole game, scattering 2 hits over 8 innings, while striking out 8. Montreal batters could never bunch up enough hits to produce a rally.

"Nick set the tone with his ability to attack the hitters," said Salt Lake City manager Erik Nance.

Sam Griffin(R, 8-9 3.90) – Carlos Aguilar(R, 12-10 5.18) tomorrow. 12 wins with THAT ERA…

Manny Salazar went 1 for 3 for Salt Lake City. The 24-year old first baseman had a key at-bat in the bottom of the sixth. With one out and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he broke a 3-3 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Sam Griffin. It was his 46th RBI of the season.

"It's nice to come out on top today," said Salazar. Playing DH today, he is batting .248-10-46 .694OPS -0.3WAR in 89 games.

With the win, the Bearcats have a record of 81-71.

Getting an impressive start from Chris Myles, Pittsburgh beat Montreal by the score of 2-1. T.J. Hoffman got the save, his 32nd in 33 chances. The Expos, now 65-88, have lost 5 in a row.

Pittsburgh starter Chris Myles was exceptional. The 1.97 m left-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits over 8 innings of work.

"Chris's a gamer," said Pittsburgh manager Randy Sandlin. "Glad he's on our side."

Kings Popped by Expos, 8-2

Montreal beat Pittsburgh on the strength of starting pitcher Melvin Magana's fine effort. The right-hander led his team to a win, 8-2. He worked 5.1 innings of 1-run ball in the win.

Montreal is now 66-88, while Pittsburgh is 75-79.

Cody Kerzner helped out the Montreal cause in the bottom of the third inning with a run-scoring walk. For the game, the first baseman drew 2 walks in 4 plate appearances, while scoring 2 times. The waiver wire claim is batting ..243-19-59 .738OPS 0.8WAR in 110 games.

Said losing manager Randy Sandlin: "At the end of the day, we've got to play better."

Elimilton Amaro(R, 3-8 5.36) - Adrian Hilscher(R, 2-12 4.84) tomorrow. Another AAAA that will probably dominate us now that I called it.

Kings Win Game, 4-1, and Series

Brent Perino pitched a gem to lead Pittsburgh to victory over the Montreal Expos, 4-1. Perino got the win, improving to 10-7. He gave up 7 hits and walked 1 over 6.2 innings. He allowed 1 run. Pittsburgh, at 77-79, holds down 4th place in the Eastern League Central.

Pittsburgh took advantage of an error in the top of the sixth inning. The game was tied, 0-0, when Jon Kramer hit a run-scoring single that was misplayed. It put the Kings in front, 1-0.

Kramer called winning a team effort. "It's not the same guy every time," he said. "It's the sum of the parts." The 3x All-Star is batting .253-8-26 .702OPS -0.2WAR in 73 games after losing his job in spring training.

Ruben Torrez(L, 15-8 3.18) - Sam Griffin(R, 8-10 4.08) the day after tomorrow. We open the final week with the Grizzlies(76-80) and their young stud ace.
