Fresno, California - The Fresno Grizzlies (40-39) fell to the Las Vegas Aviators (44-35) 10-5 from Chukchansi Park. A seven-run top of the eighth by Las Vegas clouded any comeback possibility for Fresno. Miguel Romero (3-1) received the decision after two-plus frames of relief. He fanned five. Dakota Bacus (4-2) suffered the loss.

Cameron Rupp highlighted the Aviators offense with a three-hit night. Rupp lifted an early homer and doubled in a pair late. Chris Hermann also went deep with a solo missile in the fourth. Finally, Jorge Mateo finished the dinger barrage with a three-run clout in the eighth. The three hitters drove in eight of the nine Las Vegas runs.

Jose Marmolejos and Matt Reynolds co-piloted the Grizzlies bats. Marmolejos mustered two hits, extending the current club-high hit streak to 11 contests. He became the fourth Fresno player to have an 11-game hit streak. Reynolds notched a pair of hits as well, including a three-run big fly. It was his 10th of the year. Yadiel Hernandez and Alec Keller provided multi-hit affairs as well.
