Aces Return to Greater Nevada Field to Host the Isotopes in Final Homestand of 2024

Reno, Nev. – The Reno Aces (32-24, 67-64) return home to Greater Nevada Field for a final time in 2024 after splitting their final road trip of the season with Sugar Land to host the Albuquerque Isotopes, the Triple-A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies. The series will start on Tuesday, September 17, at 6:35.

This final homestand for the Aces has Pacific Coast Lague playoff implications. The BLC-Nine has a three-game lead over Las Vegas. A playoff berth for Reno would result in the club playing in the Pacific Coast League Championship Series in Sugar Land next week.

The clubs played a six-game series at the end of August, and Albuquerque defeated Reno in four of the matches.

Notable played on Albuquerque’s roster include outfielders Jimmy Herron and Zac Veen.

In their previous meeting, Herron was a problem for the Aces, going 6-for-18 (.333) with two home runs and five RBI. The Duke product has been one of Albuquerque’s most reliable offensive weapons, slashing .284/.364/.465 with 14 home runs and leading his team in RBI with 67. He is coming off a productive series versus the Las Vegas Aviators, which saw him tally three doubles, one home run, and three RBIs while coming around to score eight times. Containing Herron’s bat will be crucial in Reno’s route to victory.

Veen, currently ranked as Colorado’s #3 overall prospect, drove in a team-leading six runs against the Aces in the first series. The 22-year-old’s power prowess has carried over into Triple-A since being promoted to Albuquerque on August 24, smashing six long balls and driving in 15 runs in 20 games. Veen, the #9 overall pick in the 2020 MLB draft, has enjoyed an efficient month of September, hitting .236/.288/—491 with six extra-base knocks, including four home runs, and six RBI.

Tim Tawa has swung it well vs the Isotopes this season, going 8-for-23 (.343) with two home runs and four RBI in six games. The Stanford alumnus has been on fire lately, collecting seven extra-base hits, four home runs, and 11 RBI across his last seven games. He has also registered four multi-hit performances over that stretch. Since Tawa’s promotion to Triple-A Reno on August 20, the 25-year-old has slashed .351/.421/.745 with nine home runs and 22 RBI while leading the Pacific Coast League in hits (33) and total bases (70). He’ll look to keep things rolling in the upcoming matchup against Albuquerque.

The Aces return to Greater Nevada Field on September 16 to host the Albuquerque Isotopes, the Triple-A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies, with the first pitch scheduled for 6:35 p.m. PT.
