Nolin let up the first run of the game as Reno (40-51) outfielder Travis Snider homered to right field in the top of the fourth. In the home half of the same inning, Ryan Court launched a solo blast to right center field that knotted the score, 1-1. The homer was Court's second in as many nights out of the All-Star break.

The Rainiers scored the game-winning run in the bottom of the seventh when Kelby Tomlinson and John Andreoli laced back-to-back doubles, giving Tacoma its only lead of the night.

Sam Tuivailala (1-0) earned his first win since having his rehab assignment transferred to Tacoma from Double-A Arkansas on Friday. The right-hander tossed a scoreless seventh inning with a pair of strikeouts. Reggie McClain earned his second save when he went six-up, six-down in the final two innings, closing out the game for Tacoma.

Infielder Tim Lopes went 2-for-3 with his team-best 28th double. The 25-year-old also stole his 23rd base of the campaign, trailing only teammate Ian Miller (24) for the league lead.

The Rainiers will look for their second-straight against the Aces at Cheney Stadium on a Silver Bullet Saturday, presented by Coors Light. First pitch is at 7:05 p.m. PDT as southpaw Anthony Misiewicz (3-5, 6.80) takes the mound to face Reno right-hander Taylor Widener (6-4, 7.78).
