Reno Aces News Release


Today's Game: The Aces continue their road trip in El Paso Monday night from Southwest University Park. Right-hander Kris Medlen will get the ball, looking for his first win of the season. El Paso sit atop the Pacific Southern Division with a record of 16-8 whereas the Aces are in last place in the Pacific Northern Division.

About Last Night: The Reno Aces lost a nail biter Sunday afternoon in Sacramento, falling 7-6 in walk-off fashion. With Stefan Crichton on the mound in the bottom of the 9th inning, Eury Perez singled home Madison Younginer to win the ballgame. The loss moves Reno to a record of 7-17 heading into a four-game series in El Paso starting tomorrow. Aces starter Jake Buchanan performed well, tossing four innings and allowing just one earned run.

Mr. 300: With a single in the 8th inning last night, Jack Reinheimer became the fourth Aces player in franchise history to record 300 hits. Cole Gillespie (399), Mike Jacobs (343) and Mike Freeman (301) are the only players with more hits. The only active Aces player in the top ten is Ildemaro Vargas who has 246 career hits as a member of the Aces.

Hot Start: Outfielder Evan Marzilli returned off the Aces disabled list Saturday night. The University of South Carolina product went 3-for-6 Saturday with three RBI and three runs scored. Yesterday, Marzilli went 3-for-4 with a run scored and a walk. During the 2017 campaign with Reno, Marzilli hit .264 in 32 games played.

Last Chance: Entering the last game of the month of April, the Aces have just three players (min. 35 AB) who boast batting averages above the .300 mark - Socrates Brito (.300, 23 G, 27-for-90), Michael Perez (.356, 16 G, 21-for-59) and Anthony Recker (.314, 12 F, 11-for-35). Last season, five Aces hit above .300 in April - Oswaldo Arcia, Rey Fuentes, Carlos Rivero, Ketel Marte, and Christian Walker.

Back-to-Back: Marcus Littlewood and Kristopher Negron hit back-to-back home runs Friday night in the top of the fifth inning. This is the first time this season a pair of Aces has accomplished this feat and the first time since Christian Walker and Zach Borenstein did so on August 8, 2017 in Las Vegas. Christian Walker is currently in the Big Leagues with the Arizona Diamondbacks and Borenstein is with the Las Vegas 51's.
