Reno Aces Game Notes vs. El Paso

April 14, 2019 - Pacific Coast League (PCL1)
Reno Aces News Release


Today's Game: Reno comes into game two of the four-game series looking to tie the series up following last night's loss. Chris Cron will send southpaw Anthony Vasquez to the mound for the second time this season. Vasquez did not record a decision in his first start, but went five innings and allowed four runs on eight hits with four strikeouts. He'll square off against Chris Rowley who did not record a decision in his first start but went five innings and allowed four runs on six hits.

Historic: On this date in 1908, Pirates owner Barney Dreyfuss offered Honus Wagner a contract with a proposed a salary of $6,000. The third baseman, who won his second consecutive NL batting crown last season, will eventually signed for $10,000, twice the amount of his previous pay, to become the first major leaguer to make a five-figure salary. On April 6, 2013, the most coveted baseball card of all-time proved its worth once again early Saturday morning, as the 1909-11 T206 Honus Wagner card sold for $2.1 million in an online auction.

Only 10: Yes, the Aces currently sit at the bottom of their Division with a record of 3-7. That doesn't mean they are going to finish in this position. The 1991 Minnesota Twins started the season with a 2-9 record and finished with a World Series victory. The 2003 Florida Marlins began the season 19-29 and went 72-42 the rest of the season en route to a World Series title. It's not how you start, it's how you finish.

Soccer Ball: Reno 1868 FC beat Colorado for the first time in club history last night following a two-and-a-half-hour game delay and 90 minutes in the snow. Despite the cold, things heated up for Reno 1868 FC in the second half. In the 64th minute, Seth Casiple ran on to a deflected Switchbacks' header, took a touch, and found the back of the net with a shot over goalkeeper Abraham Rodriguez's head. It was looking like the match was going to finish 0-1, but five minutes of stoppage time was all Brian Brown needed to net his fifth goal of the season. The forward ran onto a through ball from Aidan Apodaca and finished in one touch, doubling Reno's lead.

What a Relief: The Reno bullpen will lick their wounds and take the field again this afternoon following an offensive outburst by the El Paso Chihuahuas. Robby Scott, Braden Shipley and Joey Krehbiel threw four innings, allowed 12 hits, and gave up 11 runs. As an entire unit, the Aces bullpen holds a 7.55 ERA through 10 games. In 2018, Aces' relievers finished with an ERA of 5.48.

Leader in the Clubhouse: Travis Snider has made himself at home in an Aces uniform. The journeyman outfielder extended his hit streak last night to six games. In each of the six games during the streak, Snider has recorded two hits. He has started eight of the Aces 10 games and reached base two or more times in every one of them. Snider leads the Pacific Coast League with an average north of .515 and is tied for second in the PCL with 15 total hits. Snider has a career .310 average at the Triple-A level and .303 overall in Minor League baseball.

Honest Abe: Abraham Almonte's favorite meal is probably a double-double from In-N-Out Burger. Almonte leads the Pacific Coast League with five doubles. Last night the outfielder recorded two, both off the El Paso starter Chris Rowley. The only other player in the PCL with five is Braden Bishop of the Tacoma Rainiers. Socrates Brito led the Aces in doubles last season with 34.
