Reno Aces News Release


Reno, NV - The Reno Aces (35-28) fell just short in an 8-7 loss to the Tacoma Rainiers (31-32) in Sunday afternoon's series finale.

The Rainiers jumped out to a 6-0 lead after two, churning through at-bats and forcing Konnor Pilkington out of the game after just two outs. Blake Lalli turned to Peter Solomon in the middle innings and the righty didn't disappoint. Solomon kept the Aces in the game with three scoreless innings and two strikeouts.

Ali Sánchez walked twice and hit a two-run homer to dead center, his fifth of the season. Sánchez is 23-for-55 (.418) with four doubles, five homers, and 14 RBI in 16 games at Greater Nevada Field this season.

Buddy Kennedy and Kyle Lewis each notched multiple hits in the loss. Kennedy's two-run double in the fourth pulled the Aces within two while Lewis' single in the seventh kept the line moving for a game-tying double from Tristin English.

The Aces brought the winning run to the plate in the ninth as Dominic Canzone pinch hit for English. Canzone flew a deep sacrifice fly to left to pull within one, but the Rainiers closed it out shortly after.

The Aces now head back on the road to take on the Las Vegas Aviators, the Triple-A affiliate of the Oakland Athletics. First pitch is Tuesday at 7:05 p.m. PT from Las Vegas Ballpark.
