Tacoma, Washington. – The Reno Aces (14-4, 49-44) fell short to the Tacoma Rainiers (9-10, 52-42) in a 5-4 loss in Friday’s series opener at Cheney Stadium.

Albert Almora had an excellent day at the plate, collecting three base knocks, notably getting Reno on the board with a two-RBI double to plate Sergio Alcantara and Jorge Barrosa in the second inning. The 30-year-old has now posted three hits on four occasions in July.

Pavin Smith gave the Aces a 3-0 lead in the top of the fifth with his eighth big fly of the year, a 380-foot blast into left field. Smith is riding a seven-game hitting streak where he has gone 8-for-27 (.296) with two home runs, four RBI, and six walks.

Cristian Mena took a no-decision after tossing 4 2/3 innings, allowing three runs (one earned) while walking three and striking out five. The promising prospect held the Rainiers scoreless through the first four frames before running into trouble in the fifth inning and surrendering the lead. Mena has struggled recently as he has failed to reach five innings in his past two starts.

Deyvison De Los Santos helped Reno attempt to inch back, obliterating a Chris Devenski four-seam fastball 403 feet into right-center field for his 14th home run of the campaign. The exciting power hitter leads Minor League Baseball in HR (28), RBI (83), and total bases (214) with split-time between Double-A Amarillo and Reno this season.

The Aces will look to get back into the win column in Saturday’s matchup against the Tacoma Rainiers, the Triple-A affiliate of the Tacoma Rainiers, with the first pitch scheduled for 6:05 p.m. PT.

  • Albert Almora: 3-for-5, 2B, 2 RBI
  • Pavin Smith: 1-for-4, 1 HR, 1 RBI
