West Sacramento, Calif. - Manny Ramirez went 2-for-4 with an RBI, but the River Cats lost to the Aces in Monday afternoon's series-finale at Raley Field.

Reno took an early lead in the second inning, scoring five runs and knocking Cats LHP Fabio Castro out of the game after 1.2 innings of work. Sacramento scored its only two runs in the third inning. One came on a run-scoring single from Ramirez and the other on a Chris Carter double down the left field line, scoring Luke Hughes.

Yoenis Céspedes started in the first game of his rehab assignment, finishing 1-for-3. He played in left field and was pulled to begin the sixth in favor of Michael Taylor. Ramirez finished 2-for-4 with an RBI and is hitting .250 in nine games with the River Cats.

Castro gave up five runs and six hits in 1.2 innings for his fifth loss. The River Cats bullpen combined to give up five earned runs in 7.1 innings of relief.

Arizona Diamondbacks top-prospect Trevor Bauer started for the Aces, giving up six hits, four walks and two earned runs with eight strikeouts for his second Triple-A victory.

The Cats were wearing their camouflage jerseys during Monday's Military Appreciation Day at Raley Field. The game kicked off a sixth-month campaign by Bell Bros.
