Las Vegas inched out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the third after a bases-loaded walk.
That would be all for Fresno starter Josh James (no-decision). He lasted three innings, giving up one run (earned), on four walks while whiffing a pair.
Jack Mayfield knotted the game at one in the bottom of the fourth when he powered a double to center, plating Taylor Jones (hit-by-pitch).

The Grizzlies cut the deficit to 5-4 in the bottom of the sixth when Mayfield spanked Jones home with a single to left. Then, Nick Tanielu ripped a double off the center field wall, bringing in Yordan Alvarez. The lefty doubled for his first Triple-A hit prior to the run. Finally, a force out pushed the Las Vegas lead to one.
Jacob Rhame slammed the door with his ninth save after striking out a pair in two innings, giving the 51s a 5-4 victory.
