Three days ago, Zack Gelof was in the Arizona Instructional League with several of his fellow 2021 draft picks, getting some extended work after playing his first 32 professional games for the Oakland A’s High-A club in Stockton (California). On Monday night, the 21-year-old found himself in an Aviators uniform

Having lost 14 of their previous 18 games, including four in a row, the Aviators walked into Las Vegas Ballpark for Sunday afternoon’s game against the Oklahoma City Dodgers with one simple mission: find a way to pick up a victory— any victory. Nail-biter, blowout, come-from-behind, walk-off, mistake-filled—it didn’t matter.

More than 24,000 fans have packed Las Vegas Ballpark for the first three games of the Aviators’ final homestand of 2021. And while those fans didn’t get to see the home team defeat the visiting Oklahoma City Dodgers in those three games, they did get to see stellar individual efforts

A month ago, the Aviators started their 12-game road trip in Oklahoma City and showed no mercy against the Dodgers, winning five of six games. It appears none of the Dodgers’ players suffer from short-term memory loss, because they arrived in Las Vegas this week determined to exact some revenge

Nick Allen entered the 2021 season as a consensus top-five prospect in the Oakland A’s system. So when Allen joined the Aviators in mid-August after helping Team USA win an Olympic silver medal in Tokyo, everyone—fans, coaches, and Oakland’s player development and front office staff—was eager to see how the

A little over a month ago, there wasn’t a hotter team in Triple-A West than the Aviators, who put together a 15-3 run from August 15-September 4 that pushed the club back into contention for its second straight division title. Alas, Las Vegas was unable to sustain that momentum, stumbling

(Las Vegas, NV) – September 21, 2021 – The Las Vegas Aviators® professional baseball team of Triple-A West (formerly the Pacific Coast League, PCL), Triple-A affiliate of the Oakland Athletics, will host the Oklahoma City Dodgers, Triple-A affiliate of the 2020 World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers, in the opener

Spring training is coming to Las Vegas Ballpark this weekend — and it’s coming in the form of the Mexican Baseball Fiesta, right as summer gives way to fall. Confused? Here’s the explanation: Since 2011, the Mexican Winter Leagues — which feature 10 professional teams that compete from October through

There was a time not so long ago when all the Aviators seemingly had to do to ensure a Sunday victory was show up to the ballpark. Through the first 16 weeks of the 2021 season, they went 13-3 on Sundays, including winning nine of 10 from June 20-August 23.

Success for Minor League Baseball players essentially comes down to two factors: receiving opportunities and making the most of them. Six weeks ago, Aviators outfielder/third baseman Mickey McDonald was given his second opportunity to showcase his talents at the Triple-A level — and as he proved yet again Saturday at

By the time the Aviators took the field Friday night at Las Vegas Ballpark, a monsoon that drenched much of Southern Nevada had blown out of town. It didn’t take long, though, for the thunder to return in the form of the Reno Aces’ bats. One night after mustering just

As recently as six weeks ago, the notion that the Aviators’ pitching staff would be responsible for guiding the team to a much-needed late-season victory would’ve been as farfetched as aliens landing in center field at Las Vegas Ballpark … during a midsummer snowstorm. That’s how much both the Aviators’

The last time they faced the Reno Aces, the Aviators were teetering on the brink of a lost season. It was mid-July, and Las Vegas had dropped the final two games of a six-game series in Reno to fall two games under .500 (29-31) and — more disturbingly — nine

It took the Aviators precisely 60 days to notch their second four-game winning streak of the 2021 season. It took them less than 24 hours to stretch that streak to a season-high five in a row. Red-hot designated hitter Khris Davis went 3-for-4 with two home runs, a triple and

It took exactly two months and 52 games, plus a second consecutive down-to-their-final-strike rally and a controversial call on the game’s final play. But at long last, the Aviators finally have a four-game winning streak. Trailing 6-5 with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, outfielder Luis Barrera

The Aviators and Albuquerque Isotopes gave baseball fans their money’s worth (and then some) in the first three games of their six-game series at Las Vegas Ballpark, combining for 49 runs and 75 hits. Then on Sunday, the Triple-A West foes yet again gave fans their money’s worth — as

The Aviators entered Friday’s game against the Albuquerque Isotopes at Las Vegas Ballpark with the same attitude they’ve had pretty much the entire season: Just find a way to secure a late-game lead, and we’re home free. Why such a mindset? Because Las Vegas also entered Friday with a 36-4
