Notes:
Congrats Kev and Tay: Infielder Kevin Cron got his first Major League start yesterday for the Arizona Diamondbacks at first base and batting fifth against the San Francisco Giants in a 10-4 win. The 6-foot-5 TCU-alum did not disappoint going 1-for-4 with a double to record his first MLB hit and had 2 RBIs on the day. Taylor Clarke got the start in the game and earned his first Major League win going 6.1 innings allowing three earned runs on six hits while striking out four. Clarke got his first MLB save on 4/20 against the Chicago Cubs.
Welcome Back, Jake: The Las Vegas Aviators are expected to send righty Jake Buchanan to the mound tonight against the Aces. Buchanan had a solid career with the club appearing in 38 games with Reno in 2017 and 2018. He compiled a 16-9 record with a 4.91 ERA over 218 innings pitched in the hitter friendly Pacific Coast League. It will be his first start against his former team.
If You Were Wondering: Abraham Almonte hit the longest home run at Greater Nevada Field this season according to Trackman. His 3-run home run last night registered at 109 MPH off the bat and 484 feet from home plate. It landed past the white tent in right center field if you needed a reference point.
But Can He Get on Base?: Yes he can, however Aces slugger Yasmany Tomas' 12-game hit streak came to an end last night. It was the longest hit-streak of the season for Reno. Tomas went 20-for-51 with nine home runs, 20 runs scored and 19 RBIs since the streak started on May 10. He hit seven home runs in a four-game stretch from 5/21-5/23 including a four home run game on May 21. He became the third player in PCL history to hit five home runs in a two game stretch. The other two? Bert Williams in 1924 and Matt Williams (yes, that Matt Williams) in 1988.
