The Bees dominated the Aces from wire to wire, building an early lead and cruising to an 11-1 victory. Yolmer Sánchez broke it open with a two-run homer in the second inning, and Kyren Paris went off the bench with five hits and four RBIs to lead the offensive onslaught. The Bees pounded out 16 hits compared to just five for Las Vegas. The clubs play again Saturday.
The Bees rolled past the Aces 11-1, overwhelming them with a power-hitting performance that never let up. Sánchez delivered the go-ahead blow in the bottom of the second, sending a fly ball over the right field wall with Candelario on base for a two-run shot.
Las Vegas was no match, managing just five hits to the Bees' 16 and leaving itself with nowhere to turn. The victory pushed the Bees to 57-66 on the season, while the Aces fell to 54-70 and head to Saturday's rematch still searching for answers.
The Bees are coming off a win, 7-3 over their last 10. The Aces are losers of 2 straight, 2-8 over their last 10.
The Bees are up next at Rainiers (Aug 27-29). The Aces are up next home vs River Cats (Aug 27-29).
Ranked by win probability added: how far each player's plays moved this game's odds, not how their box-score line reads. A single with the bases loaded in the ninth outranks a home run in a blowout, because that is what actually decided it.
Runs by inning across the top, then every batter and pitcher underneath. The pills switch clubs; the totals column is each side’s own line, not a comparison.
