The Las Vegas 51s will return to Cashman Field to open an eight-game home stand on Thursday against the Albuquerque Isotopes, Triple-A affiliate of the Florida Marlins. Las Vegas will begin a stretch of 16 of 20 games at home from May 19-June 7.

The 51s (18-19) conclude an eight-game Tennessee road trip tonight at Nashville. They split a four-game series at Memphis and are 2-1 against the Sounds.

The 51s will host the Isotopes in a four-game series from Thursday-Sunday. Budweiser Dollar Beer Night will be featured at Thursday's game and is presented at every Thursday home game throughout the season.

Friday is L.A. Dodger T-Shirt Night and will be given out to the first 2,500 fans in attendance.

The 51s then will host the Round Rock Express in a four-game series from May 23-26.

The Express, making its first-ever visit to Las Vegas, is owned by Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan.
