They also had runners at first and second with one out in the fourth, but Zach Houchins flied out and Rymer Liriano bounced into an inning ending fielder's choice.

Salt Lake starter Jose Suarez (0-3) took the loss, as he went four innings and allowed five runs on seven hits with three strikeouts and two walks. Suarez was touched for a three run homer by Jeff McNeil in the third inning that put Las Vegas ahead to stay. Jose Miguel Fernandez had two of the Bees' five hits.
