Reno Aces News Release
RENO, Nev. - Reno Aces infielder Phillip Evans' historic month of April was capped as he was named Pacific Coast League Player of the Month by Minor League Baseball today.
Evans, 30, completed the month with the highest batting average (.455) in franchise history in April, in addition to setting an Aces record for the most runs in the month with 27. He finished fourth in the league in walks (21), recorded 12 multi-hit games, and hit safely in 11 straight games to end the month.

The Aces will complete their two-week homestand as they continue to square off against the Round Rock Express, Triple-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers, through Sunday, May 7th, at Greater Nevada Field.
