Escobar's rehabilitation start for the Salt Lake Stingers on Tuesday at Cashman Field was going smoothly until 51s star Chin-Feng Chen roughed him up for a 450 -foot home run in the third inning. But Chen and Escobar were both upstaged by the Stingers' Luke Allen, whose three-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning powered Salt Lake to an 8-7 victory. Allen, who played for Las Vegas in 2002, pulled a 3-2 pitch from Franquelis Osoria over the right-field wall to cap a six-run inning. "I want to win every game," 51s manager Jerry Royster said after his team's four-game winning streak was stopped. "But this game was about how we hit against a major league pitcher, and we got some whacks at Escobar, who was pretty sharp." Escobar, on the disabled list with a strained ligament in his right elbow, pitched four innings and trailed 2-1 when he left the game. "Actually, I think I felt too good," Escobar said. "I was throwing the ball a little bit up. I wasn't really worried about making pitches and things like that. I was letting the ball go and seeing how my arm was going to react, and everything went good." Escobar threw 74 pitches, 47 for strikes, and said he will start Sunday night when the Angels host the Oakland Athletics. After striking out the side in the first inning, Escobar got into a jam in the second. He allowed an RBI double to the 51s' Mike Rose, but with the bases loaded, Escobar struck out Henri Stanley and Jose Flores to end the inning. Chen led off the third inning by crushing a 3-1 fastball that almost hit the scoreboard 474 feet away in left field. "He knew the fastball was coming and he hit it pretty good. I've got to give credit to the guy," said Escobar, whose fastball routinely hit 95 mph. Chen, hitting .395 through 11 games, is still waiting to get his first major league hit with the Los Angeles Dodgers, but he continues to earn praise from Royster. "That was a major league at-bat, and as I've said before, Chen is pretty good to go. I think he could be up there now," Royster said. Chen added a two-run double in the eighth inning that put Las Vegas ahead 7-2, a lead that reliever Tom Farmer took into the ninth. Right-hander Pat Mahomes allowed two runs, one earned, in 6 2/3 innings for the 51s (6-5). Escobar made 33 starts for the Angels last season and pitched better than his 11-12 record. He led the team in innings (208 1/3) and strikeouts (191) and ranked 10th among American League starters in ERA (3.93). ‧ NOTE -- Dodgers general manager Paul DePodesta said closer Eric Gagne, on the disabled list with a sore right elbow, might report to Las Vegas within two weeks for rehabilitation work.
