51s top Iowa, match best road trip (7-1)

The 51s matched the most successful road trip in franchise history with a 6-3 win over the Iowa Cubs in a Pacific Coast League game Thursday in Des Moines.

Las Vegas went 7-1 at Omaha (4-0) and Iowa (3-1), equaling its 7-1 trip to Portland, Ore., and Vancouver, British Columbia, in May 1989.

The 51s (29-19), who are 20-5 in May, scored three runs in the second inning and two in the third to take a 5-0 lead en route to their ninth victory in 10 games.

Six players scored and six players drove in runs for Las Vegas, whose season-high eight-game win streak was snapped Wednesday.

Brett Lawrie went 3-for-5 with an RBI, and Mike McCoy, Travis Snider and Manny Mayorson each had two hits and an RBI in the 51s' 12-hit attack.

Willie Collazo (1-0) pitched six innings for Las Vegas. He allowed three runs, two earned, on five hits, with three walks and three strikeouts.

Sean Henn pitched two scoreless innings to notch his second save and lower his team-leading ERA to 1.93.

Snider singled to start the second, and David Cooper doubled. Adam Loewen followed with an RBI groundout to make the score 1-0, and Jason Lane hit a sacrifice fly for a 2-0 edge.

Mayorson then singled, stole second and third and scored on a single by McCoy to give Las Vegas a 3-0 lead.

Lawrie drilled a leadoff double in the third and scored on Snider's RBI single to make the score 4-0.

The Cubs scored three runs in the third on a bases-loaded single by Ty Wright and a throwing error by Loewen in right field.
