RENO, Nev. - The Reno Aces (13-30, 50-68) dropped their eighth straight game in a 7-5 loss to the El Paso Chihuahuas (27-15, 65-52), the Triple-A affiliate of the San Diego Padres, on Friday night at Greater Nevada Field.

Gabriel Moreno, with Reno on an MLB rehab assignment for a broken finger, led the offense with three hits, including two doubles, and drove in two runs. He opened the scoring in the third inning with a double off the left-field wall to plate Andy Weber and added an RBI ground-rule double to right in the fifth to bring home Jordan Lawlar.

The talented outfielder has been red hot at the dish of late, going 16-for-45 (.356) with three doubles, three home runs, and 11 RBI in 11 games in August

The Aces will look to snap their skid in Saturday's matchup against the Chihuahuas, with first pitch set for 6:35 p.m. PST.
