Reno's Bats Erupt for 20 Runs in Blowout Victory Over Sugar Land

June 14, 2025 - Pacific Coast League (PCL)
Reno Aces News Release


RENO, Nev. - The Reno Aces (32-35) launched four home runs in the first two innings to power past the Sugar Land Space Cowboys (36-30), the Triple-A affiliate of the Houston Astros, in a 20-7 blowout on Friday night at Greater Nevada Field. The BLC-Nine exploded for 11 extra-base hits in the win, with six Aces recording multi-hit performances.

Jake McCarthy jump-started the offense with a first-pitch leadoff homer over the right-field porch-his first of the season. The speedy outfielder posted his best night at the plate in 2025, going 4-for-5 with two doubles, a homer, and four RBI. After a quiet May, McCarthy is heating up in June, going 18-for-44 (.409) with five RBI and four stolen bases.

Blaze Alexander followed with a three-run blast later in the first, his third home run in the past two games. The infielder is locked in at the plate this month, going 12-for-35 (.343) with six extra-base hits and 15 RBI.

Rene Pinto capped the first-inning fireworks with a solo shot off Space Cowboys starter Aaron Brown, his fifth homer of the year. The veteran catcher had a huge night, going 4-for-6 with two doubles, a home run, and two RBI. Since returning from the injured list (hand), Pinto has been on a tear, slashing .314/.377/.643 with 13 extra-base hits and 18 RBI in 18 games.

Jorge Barrosa kept the momentum going in the second, launching a no-doubt three-run homer into right field to push Reno's lead to eight. The switch-hitting outfielder finished 3-for-5 with his 22nd double of the season-tied for the Pacific Coast League lead-and extended his hitting streak to eight games, batting .400 (14-for-35) with six extra-base hits and seven RBI during that span.

Jordan Lawlar added to the offensive onslaught with three hits, including a double and a triple, while driving in three runs. Since rejoining the Aces on May 31, Arizona's top prospect has been a consistent threat, going 14-for-47 (.298) with seven extra-base hits and 10 RBI over 11 games.

The Aces will look to ride the momentum into Saturday night's contest and take the series lead against the Space Cowboys. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 p.m. PST.
