Late Rally by Aviators Locks Up 6-3 Win
The Minnesota Twins got a sterling performance from pitcher Eric Cerantola, but the Las Vegas Aviators still prevailed, 6-3. Cerantola threw 6.2 innings of 3-hit ball. The winner was Las Vegas reliever Ryan Cusick, now 4-2. The loser was Matt Cronin. Picking up the save was Danny Koepplinger, his 39th.

Had Dan Velasquez not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 3rd, Velasquez hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 4-3, in favor of the Aviators.

"Win or lose, we pick each other up in this clubhouse," Velasquez told the Las Vegas Daily News.

The third-place Aviators have won 4 straight games.
