Reno Aces News Release


Today's Game: Nine games back in the Pacific Northern division, the Reno Aces will face Right-hander Dereck Rodriguez in Sacramento Firday night. Greg Gross will send top-prospect Taylor Clarke to the mound, who looks to redeem his 10-hit, seven-run performance against the 'Cats from April 11.

About Last Night: Braden Shipley (2-2, 6.26) got the nod for Greg Gross and the Aces on Thursday night in Sacramento. The right-hander went 5.0 innings and allowed eight runs on nine hits. The 8-3 loss brings Shipley's 2018 record to 2-2 and the Aces overall record to 6-15. Reno has never started a season 6-15. Sacramento starter Andrew Suárez was dominant, delivering 7.0 innings, allowing just one run and striking out nine. Suárez is 2-0 with the River Cats this season and boasts an ERA of 1.08.

Pitchers who Rake: Braden Shipley was the last Aces pitcher to hit a home run and, after last night, is the last Aces pitcher to record a triple. Shipley's last home run came on 4/17/17 vs. El Paso. The right-hander is also the last Aces pitcher to record two RBI in a single game (4/17/17).

Kochin' up: Former Aces right-hander Matt Koch got the start for the Arizona Diamondbacks yesterday afternoon. Koch finished with six innings pitched, allowed two runs on six hits and recorded the first MLB hit of his career. Koch has made 18 starts with Triple-A Reno and is 6-4 with a 5.34 ER.

Whelp: The last time the Aces entered a game with a record of 6-14 was in 2012. Reno won their 21st game, 4-1 against the Salt Lake Bees in a rain-filled night. The loss yesterday brings Reno to a record of 6-15, their worst start in franchise history.
