Against the Aces: 2026: 3-1 2025: 7-5 All-time: 57-44 At OKC: 35-23

The Comets play their first series against the Aces this season and meet for the only series between the teams during the first half...Last season, the teams split the series in OKC June 3-8 with all but one game decided by two runs or fewer. The Comets took four of six games on the road in July to claim the season series...Offensively, Hunter Feduccia (.452 AVG, 1 HR, 8 RBI) led the way in hits while Ryan Ward (.309 AVG, 6 HR, 15 RBI) paced the club in homers and RBI against the Aces...Going back to 2017, OKC has won just one of the last eight home series against Reno, with six of those series ending up in splits, including each of the last two years (18-18; 1-1-6 series record)...With three wins through four games to start the current series, the Comets are 9-3 over their last 12 games against the Aces going back to last season, including five of the last six home meetings.

Liftoff: Despite a loss Friday night, the Comets are 7-1 over the last eight games and a own league-best 14-5 record since April 30...Oklahoma City has won three straight series and can win a fourth consecutive series with a win tonight or Sunday...The Comets were a season-low three games below .500 following a loss April 29 at 13-16 and then went 14-4 to climb a season-best seven games above .500 to 27-20...Entering April 30, OKC's 13 total wins were tied for the second-fewest in the PCL and OKC sat in eighth place in the overall league standings. Now OKC's 27 wins rank tied for second-most in the league and team has ascended to second place in the overall league standings.

Fun While it Lasted: Prior to last night's loss, the Comets' seven-game winning streak was the team's longest since a stretch of 10 straight wins May 9-19, 2023...The Comets did not trail at any point during their seven-game winning streak before trailing in each of the final eight innings Friday night.

Tyler the Creator: Tyler Fitzgerald extended his hitting streak to 10 games Friday night, hitting his fourth home run during the stretch, as he finished the game 2-for-3 with three RBI, a walk and two runs scored. During his hitting streak, which is the second-longest of the season by an OKC player, Fitzgerald is 15-for-36 (.417) with seven extra-base hits and 17 RBI...This is Fitzgerald's longest hitting streak since July 6-28, 2024 with the San Francisco Giants when he hit safely in 12 consecutive games...He is two games shy of equaling Ryan Fitzgerald's team-high 12-game hitting streak May 1-17.

Unleashed: The Comets scored six or more runs in an eighth straight game last night and have reached the benchmark in 16 of their first 18 games of May. OKC's 152 runs scored in May are most among Triple-A teams despite the Comets playing one less game than most teams after having their game May 10 canceled due to inclement weather...However, OKC was held to four hits in last night's loss, marking the first time since April 23 (24 G) that the Comets were held to fewer than five hits...Across the last eight games, OKC has scored 85 runs on 96 hits, including four games scoring 10 or more runs. The team is batting .322 (96-for-298) with 38 extra-base hits, including 13 home runs, and is batting .364 (40-for-110) with RISP. With two outs, the Comets are 47-for-114 (.412) and have scored 51 runs...Last night was just the fourth time in the last 16 games the Comets did not have an inning with at least four runs scored...Following Tyler Fitzgerald's two-run homer in the third inning, the Comets finished yesterday's game 1-for-22.

On the Mend: Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Kiké Hernández continued his Major League Rehab Assignment Friday and played the entire game. He went 1-for-4 with a walk and scored a run as he has hit safely in four consecutive games. He was also charged with a throwing error on a toss toward first base in the second inning...Over his 11 games with OKC, Hernández is 9-for-38 (.237) with three extra-base hits, three RBI, five walks and eight runs scored...Hernández is eligible to be reinstated from the Dodgers' 60-day Injured List as soon as Sunday.

The Third Degree: Over his last eight games, James Tibbs III is 12-for-27 (.444) with two doubles, one triple, eight RBI, 12 runs and 11 walks. He has reached base in 23 of his last 38 plate appearances...Tibbs leads the PCL with 28 extra-base hits, 109 total bases, 48 runs scored, 35 walks and his 15 doubles are tied for most in the PCL.

Highly Concentrated: The Comets surrendered seven runs last night after allowing seven runs combined across the first three games of the series. The Aces scored those seven runs between two innings, and Reno's 14 total runs this series have all occurred within just five innings, as OKC has held the Aces scoreless in 31 of 36 innings overall. Furthermore, only three of the seven runs allowed last night were earned runs, and the Comets have posted a 2.50 ERA this series and are holding Reno to a .200 batting average.

Around the Horn: Jack Suwinski is tied for the PCL lead with 12 homers and ranks second with 42 RBI...Ryan Ward has 456 career hits with OKC and is six hits away from Drew Avans' Bricktown era record of 462 career hits...Ryan Fitzgerald extended his on-base streak to 16 games Friday and scored two runs.
