Las Vegas 51s catcher Kevin Plawecki celebrates after hitting a home run to tie the game against the Reno Aces during the Pacific Coast League conference championship series Wednesday, Sept. 3, 2014, in Las Vegas.

Las Vegas 51s catcher Kevin Plawecki was pulled from the lineup in the sixth inning today of the 51s' 10-5 victory against Fresno for a promotion to the big leagues.

New York Mets catcher Travis d’Arnaud fractured his hand today against Florida, opening a spot for Plawecki in New York.

Las Vegas (6-5) scored three runs in the fifth and sixth inning to break a 2-all tie at Cashman Field, including a two-run double from Dilson Herrera in the fifth inning. In the sixth, Matt Reynolds knocked a bases-clearing triple for the 51s.

Brandon Allen added a home run for Las Vegas and Wildredo Tovar scored three runs.

The series against Fresno finishes at 7:05 p.m. Monday.
