LAS VEGAS - A three-run homer by Yunesky Sanchez helped lead Reno to a 12-10 comeback victory over Las Vegas on Friday night in a back-and-forth battle at Cashman Field, giving the Aces their season-high sixth-straight win.

The Aces led 5-0 after just three and a half innings, but Las Vegas fought back to take a 9-5 lead after six frames. Reno didn't fold, however, fighting back with three in the seventh and three more in the eighth to take the lead for good.

Sanchez hit his seventh home run of the season in the Aces' three-run seventh before Reno added three more in the eighth to take an 11-10 lead. Reno added an insurance run in the ninth, outscoring Las Vegas 7-1 over the final three innings to defeat the 51s for the fourth time in as many nights.

Kevin Mulvey started and took a no-decision, despite surrendering seven earned runs over five innings of work. Jose Marte (4-3) earned the win in relief, and Carlos Rosa left the tying run on base in the ninth to earn his 12th save of the season.

Las Vegas starter Lance Broadway did not factor in the decision either, as Jeremy Accardo (2-2) took the loss after allowing two runs-one earned-in 1.2 innings of relief.

Mark Hallberg reached base five times for the Aces-finishing 4-for-4 with a walk-while Ed Rogers and Doug Deeds combined for five hits and four RBIs. Rogers also scored three times for Reno, which recorded 15 hits and was helped by four Las Vegas errors.

Reno and Las Vegas complete the season series Sunday evening, with RHP Matt Torra (11-6, 4.20 ERA) toeing the slab against 51s LHP Luis Perez (4-5, 6.29 ERA). First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m. from Cashman Field, and all the action can be heard live in Reno on 1450 AM, or online at RenoAces.com.

The Aces return home Monday evening for a four-game series against Portland. The four-game set is Fan Appreciation Week at Aces Ballpark, with numerous specials and giveaways throughout the week.
