Notes & Information
Hateful Eight: The loss tonight brings Reno's losing streak to eight games. Reno's eighth consecutive loss is tied for the second-longest in team history. The only other eight-game skid in Aces history was the longest losing streak in team history (9) from 7/4/10 through 7/15/10. Over their last 10 games, Reno has been outscored 42-62 with a record of 1-9.
MVP Plays Spoiler in Big Leagues : In the 8th inning at Chase Field, Tyson Ross of the San Diego Padres was throwing a no-hitter until former Reno MVP Christian Walker hit a double to deep center field. The RBI-double drove in teammate Deven Marrero and tied the game at one. Unfortunately for the D-backs, San Diego responded with three runs in the ninth to secure the victory.
