Reno Aces News Release


RENO, Nev. - The Reno Aces (4-13, 41-51) were taken down by the Tacoma Rainiers (11-6, 49-43), the Triple-A affiliate of the Seattle Mariners, in a 12-5 loss on Saturday night at Greater Nevada Field.

Reno's offense came out firing, plating four runs in the first inning, but went quiet until the ninth when Jorge Barrosa knocked in Albert Almora Jr. with an RBI single.

Almora Jr. kept swinging a hot bat, going 3-for-3 and opening the scoring with a leadoff solo shot-his first home run as a member of the Aces. Since joining the BLC-Nine on June 27, he's batting .358 (19-for-53) with five extra-base hits and six RBI in 12 games.

Seth Brown continued his torrid stretch at the plate, launching his second home run in as many nights with a three-run blast in the first to tie the game. The veteran slugger has been on an absolute tear across 16 games split between Reno and the Las Vegas Aviators, slashing .444/.481/.944 with 11 homers and 22 RBI.

The Aces will look to bounce back in Sunday's series finale against the Rainiers. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 p.m.

Seth Brown: 2-for-4, 1 HR, 3 RBI
