For the first time since August 9, 2009, the Aces allowed just one hit in a complete-game victory. The 25-year-old right-hander went seven innings of one-run, one-hit baseball tonight.

Alberto Rosario singled in Ben DeLuzio for the first run of the ballgame in the bottom of the fourth inning and saw the score tied in the fifth. The score remained tied at one until the bottom of the eighth. With two runners on and two outs, Rosario drove in Blake Swihart and Jamie Westbrook to give Reno a 3-1 lead. Kevin Ginkel came on in the ninth to close things out and give the Aces their 50th victory of the season and eighth in nine games.
