Notes:
Keep it Rollin': With a win tonight, the Aces win-streak will move to eight games tying a franchise record. Reno has won eight games in a row twice before. Once in 2011 from July 9-19. Then again in 2012 when they swept consecutive 4-game series on May 4-11 against Tacoma and Memphis. Over the current streak, the Aces are averaging 10 runs per game on offense. Andy Young is batting .391 over the streak with four home runs, eight RBIs, and eight runs scored with a .444 OBP. The pitching staff is allowing 5.6 runs a game.
Thanks for the Memories: According to reports, John Ryan Murphy was traded by Arizona to the Atlanta Braves for cash considerations earlier today. Murphy hit .250 (31-for-124) in 36 games for the Aces this season. He had nine home runs, 26 RBIs, and 26 runs scored as well. The Aces were 17-11 in games Murphy caught this season and he threw out 39% of base stealers (7-for-18).
More Moves: According to reports, The Diamondbacks traded Zack Greinke to the Houston Astros today for prospects. All the players acquired were top 30 prospects in the Astros Minor League system according to MLB Pipeline. INF/OF Seth Beer (No.3), RHP J.B. Bukauskas (No.4), RHP Corbin Martin (No.5) and Josh Rojas (No. 22) came to the organization in the trade. The D-backs also added RHP Mike Leake for prospect INF Jose Caballero who played majority of the season in High-A Visalia. Lastly, the D-backs shipped their No. 1 prospect according to MLB Pipeline INF Jazz Chisholm to the Miami Marlins for their No. 5 prospect, RHP Zac Gallen. Gallen was 1-3 with a 2.72 ERA at the big-league level with the Marlins in seven starts this season.
