Reno, NV – Brandon Pfaadt spun seven dazzling innings and Tristin English hit two opposite field homers in a 6-1 Reno Aces (43-31) victory over the Albuquerque Isotopes (27-47) Saturday night at Greater Nevada Field.

Pfaadt struck out seven, walked none, and allowed only one earned run in a herculean start. Reno’s outstanding righty has struck out 23 and walked one over his last three starts combined. Pfaadt threw strikes on 69 of 95 pitches, a remarkable rate of 73%.

English delivered two blasts to spearhead the offense. Since his promotion to the Aces in early May, English has hit seven homers in 34 games. It was English’s second multi-homer game for Reno, with his first coming May 17th versus Sacramento.
