Barrosa and Almora each collected doubles in the win. Almora leads the Pacific Coast League in doubles with 37.

Tommy Henry was solid on the mound, leaving the Aviators scoreless across five frames with four strikeouts and two walks. The southpaw is second in the PCL in punchouts (54) behind Salt Lakes Reid Detmers (63) in the second half.

Slade Cecconi registered his first save of the campaign, shutting the door in the ninth with one strikeout and no walks.

Reno will continue their hot run in Wednesday's matchup against the Las Vegas Aviators, the Triple-A affiliate of the Oakland Athletics, with the first pitch scheduled for 6:35 p.m. PT.
