Reno Aces News Release
Albuquerque, New Mexico. - Tim Tawa roped two clutch home runs, including a go-ahead shot in the sixth inning, to lead the Reno Aces (32-22, 67-62) to a crucial 8-3 victory over the Albuquerque Isotopes (25-30, 51-79) on Friday night at Rio Grande Credit Union Field.

Logan Allen (W, 4-3) turned in the win after allowing three runs in five innings, striking out a season-high 10 batters. He has punched out 53 opposing hitters in the second half, good for seventh in the Pacific Coast League.
Albert Almora extended his hitting streak to 13 games after collecting a base knock and an RBI in Friday's win. The Florida native has gone 20-for-66 (.333) with nine doubles and 10 RBI over that stretch.
