Omaha third baseman Kelvin Gutierrez mashed his ninth home run of the season to extend his hit streak to ten, however Las Vegas second baseman Sheldon Neuse collected three hits and starting pitcher Sean Manaea fanned ten batters in five-plus innings in the Aviators' 4-2 win over the Storm Chasers on Tuesday afternoon at Werner Park.
Manaea (5.1 IP, 4 H, R, ER, 2 BB, 10 K) set down 12 of the final 13 batters he faced to earn the win as part of a Major League Rehab Assignment, with the lone blemish in that span a fourth-inning free pass.

Neuse (3-4, 2 R, HR, RBI) posted a game-high three knocks, including a first-inning home run, while SS Franklin Barreto blasted Las Vegas' other longball, a two-run shot in the second. SS Trace Loehr (2-3) added a multi-hit effort for the Aviators, while no Storm Chasers batters collected more than one knock.
