Aces' Bats Continue to Slug for Second Consecutive Night, Storm Back to Down Rainiers

Reno Aces News Release

Tacoma, Wash. - Andres Chaparro's 3-run homerun and Tristin English's solo shot powered the Reno Aces (6-7) to an exhilarating comeback win in the Pacific Northwest on Saturday night, 8-7.

Despite being behind early, the Aces continued to battle back and chip away. Chaparro's aforementioned blast to left briefly tied the game in the top of the fourth, and Adrian Del Castillo's RBI single in the seventh inning pulled the BLC-nine within two. The club was able to scratch even closer in the eight after a Kolten Wong pinch-hit sacrifice before taking the lead for good on a Jancarlos Cintron 2-RBI single.

Jordan Montgomery struggled in his second start with Reno as his preparation continues to join the Arizona Diamondbacks rotation soon. The lefty allowed runs in three of the nearly four innings that he pitched, including a four-run fourth inning that bounced him from the game.

The Aces' bullpen, however, was able to pick-up the team tossing five scoreless innings to close out the game. Chris Rodriguez, Austin Pope, Andrew Saalfrank, and Justin Martinez combined for 6 strikeouts while working around four walks with some timely double-plays turned by their infield.
