LAS VEGAS – The Reno Aces (0-2) were outclassed by the Las Vegas Aviators (2-0), the Triple-A Affiliate of the Athletics, in a 10-3 loss on Saturday night at Las Vegas Ballpark.
Tim Tawa was a lone bright spot, blasting his first round-tripper of the season in the top of the seventh, a two-run line shot to centerfield to cut the deficit to seven. The 25-year-old smashed 10 home runs in 37 games with Reno in 2024.

Reno will have their eyes set on that first win in Sunday’s series finale against the Las Vegas Aviators, with the first pitch scheduled for 12:05 P.M. PST.
