Tacoma Rainiers News Release
RENO, Nev. - A four-run fifth inning sunk the Tacoma Rainiers, who fell 7-4 to the Reno Aces on Saturday night at Aces Ballpark.
Outfielder Leon Landry contributed a pair of hits, including a home run, and drove in two runs from the leadoff spot in the order. The home run was the seventh of the season for Landry, the second highest single-season mark of his career.
Rainiers starting pitcher Forrest Snow allowed six runs on seven hits in 4.2 innings of work, getting pegged with the loss for the second consecutive start. Snow walked three and struck out five.
Landry opened up the contest with a leadoff home run in the first, and John Hicks tacked on a second run with a sacrifice fly three batters later. Doubles from Erik Kratz and Leury Bonilla pushed the Rainiers lead to 3-0 after just two frames of play.
Tacoma held a 3-2 lead going into the bottom of the fifth inning, but three walks and two doubles surrendered by Snow gave the Aces four runs in the frame to take a 6-3 lead.
Logan Bawcom, Mayckol Guaipe, and Tom Wilhelmsen worked the remainder of the game from the Rainiers bullpen, combining to allow one run on four hits in 3.1 innings. The trio issued no walks and recorded no strikeouts.
The Rainiers and Aces wrap up the first half of the season tomorrow, July 12 at 1:05 p.m. Tacoma righty Roenis Elias (2-0, 7.97) will face off against Reno right-hander Jhoulys Chacin (1-2, 2.16).
