Notes & Information

See ya': Infielder Daniel Robertson was ejected from today's contest for arguing with the home plate umpire. The last time a member of the Reno Aces was ejected was on July 17, 2017 when Greg Gross was ejected by Clayton Hamm for arguing a play on the bases.

Rinse and Repeat: Braden Shipley starts the season 2-0 for the second consecutive year. In 2017, the Nevada alum defeated Fresno and El Paso to start the season. Shipley moves to 17-11 in his Aces career.

Top 10: Jake Barrett's tossed a scoreless 9th inning tonight at Raley Field. Barrett has appeared in 78 games in an Aces jersey in his career and is four appearances away from moving ahead of Eury de La Rosa for 8th place in Aces history.
