RENO, Nev.- Ryan Roberts finished just a home run short of a cycle, leading Reno to a 6-3 win over Tacoma Saturday night in front of 6,954 fans at Aces Ballpark.

The Aces fell behind early for the second-straight night, but rallied in the middle innings for another come-from-behind victory. Trialing 3-0 in the fourth, the Aces plated runs in four-straight innings, starting with an RBI-groundout by Brandon Allen in the fourth after John Hester led-off the inning with a triple. Jeff Bailey blasted a two-run homer into the train trench in the fifth to tie the game, before Yunesky Sanchez's RBI-triple in the sixth put the Aces ahead for good.

Matt Torra (6-6) earned the win for Reno, scattering 10 hits in 6.2 innings, but holding the Rainiers to just three runs. T.J. Beam tossed 1.1 innings of scoreless relief before Carlos Rosa slammed the door in the ninth for his second save of the year.

Rainiers starter Luke French (10-3) took the loss, giving up five runs in 5.2 innings of work, striking out five without allowing a walk.

Roberts finished 3-for-4 with a single, double and triple. Bailey added two hits and two RBIs, while Chris Rahl contributed three hits from the leadoff spot.
