Reno Aces News Release
RENO, Nev. - The Reno Aces (9-9) fell 7-2 to the Round Rock Express (9-9), the Triple-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers, on Thursday night at Greater Nevada Field.
Despite the loss, Jordan Lawlar continued to swing a hot bat, launching his fourth home run of the year - a two-run shot in the third inning. Arizona's No. 1 prospect has been on fire, going 20-for-60 (.333) with six doubles, four home runs, and 14 RBI in April.

Mena finished the outing with three strikeouts and two walks, allowing five runs (three earned) on seven hits across six innings.
The Aces will look forward to Friday's matchup against the Round Rock Express, with the first pitch scheduled for 6:05 p.m. PST.
