Reno, NV. - The Reno Aces defeated the Albuquerque Isotopes, 6-3, blowing out the metaphorical candles to the City of Reno's sesquicentennial birthday bash. Reno got a great start from southpaw Anthony Vasquez who started in replace of Troy Scribner. Vasquez went five innings and allowed just two earned runs. A five-run second inning propelled the Aces to victory Wednesday night. The Aces batted around in the bottom of the second inning thanks to four hits and a Cody Decker 2-run home run.

With a five-run cushion, the Aces pitching staff was dominant. As a unit, the combination of Albert Suarez, Jake Barrett and Jimmie Sherfy allowed six hits, allowed one run and struck out nine in just four innings of work. Manager Greg Gross will send RHP Jake Buchanan to the mound tomorrow in game three of the four-game set. The win brings the Aces to a record of 14-20 with six games left during the 12-game homestand.
