A.J. Burnett outduelled Zack Greinke to take a 3-2 decision against Vancouver yesterday. The showdown of the two division leaders was decided by a 2-run Matt Holliday homer in the third inning. Vancouver made it interesting when pinch hitter Jeff Clement hit a home run in his DMBL debut to make it a one-run game, but Chase Utley struck out with 2 runners on base to end the game. Las Vegas won the game despite being outhit 9-5 in the game. Last season's One-run Wonders are now 4-1 in one-run games.
Hillsborough dropped their third straight, a 6-1 defeat at the hands of Gavin Floyd and the Blue Ridge Bombers. Michael Young was 4-5 and Nate McLouth and Prince Fielder were each 3-5 to lead the Bomber offense. Floyd went the distance, holding the Hitmen to 8 hits and striking out 7. Hillsborough remains only one game out of first, but fell to third place in the Morris Division, lept over by Carolina.
