LAS VEGAS — Cory Aldridge hit a three-run home run in the top of the eighth with the game tied 6-6, and then he finished things off in style with a two-run homer in the top of the ninth to help the Salt Lake Bees pull away for a 13-6 win over the Las Vegas 51s Sunday night.

Ryan Brasier picked up his fourth win on the season as he threw two innings of scoreless baseball.

Cole Calhoun and Luis Jimenez had two RBIs apiece. The same two teams meet again tonight.
