So,baseball life goes on. Las Vegas 14 Portland 1Adrian Martin had a nice return to Las Vegas after opening the season with the club before getting demoted to double-A. The right-hander allowed one run in 6.2 innings of work, while allowing three hits and no walks. He struck out four batters. Bill Murphy worked the final 2.1 innings and did not allow a run.
