Reno Aces News Release

RENO, Nev. - The Reno Aces (4-14, 41-52) dropped Sunday's series finale to the Tacoma Rainiers (12-6, 50-43), the Triple-A affiliate of the Seattle Mariners, after surrendering eight runs in the ninth inning, falling 13-9 at Greater Nevada Field.

Despite the loss, Adrian Del Castillo reminded everyone why he was named the 2024 Pacific Coast League MVP. The dynamic catcher drove in four runs on a four-hit day that included two home runs. He got the Aces on the board in the fourth with his third homer of the season, a two-run shot, and kept the BLC-Nine alive in the ninth with a solo blast over the right field porch - his fourth of the year. Del Castillo boosted his season slash line to .288/.386/.559 with eight extra-base hits and 16 RBI in just 14 games.

Jorge Barrosa stayed hot at the plate, racking up three hits including his 26th double of the year. The switch-hitting outfielder has been Reno's most consistent offensive performer this season, slashing .304/.386/.443 with 34 extra-base hits and 55 RBI.

Jesus Valdez added to the power display with a solo shot in the seventh, his third homer of the season. The infielder has found his rhythm at the plate, going 8-for-26 (.308) with three homers and seven RBI since July 5.

Following the All-Star break, the Aces will head to Albuquerque for a three-game road series against the Isotopes, the Triple-A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies. First pitch is scheduled for Friday, July 18, at 5:35 p.m. PST.

Notable Aces:

Adrian Del Castillo: 4-for-5, 2 2B, 2 HR, 6 RBI

Jorge Barrosa: 3-for-5, 1 2B

Jesus Valdez: 2-for-5, 1 HR, 1 RBI
