SALT LAKE CITY - The Reno Aces (14-36, 51-74) fell 6-4 to the Salt Lake Bees (24-26, 52-72), the Triple-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels, on Saturday night at The Ballpark at America First Square.

Dylan Ray turned in a solid outing, working six innings and allowing three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six. All three runs came in the first frame, but the right-hander quickly settled in and blanked Salt Lake over his final five innings of work.

Cristian Pache provided much of Reno's offense, driving in two runs with a clutch single in the second inning. The outfielder has swung the bat well in August, going 10-for-33 (.303) with three extra-base hits and seven RBI.

The Aces will aim to close the series on a high note in Sunday's finale, with first pitch scheduled for 11:05 a.m. PST.
