The Aces used five relievers throughout the game, Taylor Widener, Keynan Middleton, Mack Lemieux, Jesus Liranzo, and Mitchell Stumpo, who held Sacramento's offense at bay, allowing just three hits and fanning eight batters.

At the plate, Alek Thomas drilled a 432-foot blast off the batter's eye for a solo homer in the fifth for a 1-0 lead. The longball was Thomas' first homer of the season.

Stone Garrett extended his hitting streak to six games Sunday with a hustle double in the bottom of the fourth.

Thomas extended his hitting streak to five games with his solo homer.
