Tacoma, Wash. – The Reno Aces (28-31) conceded a one-run lead in extra innings to fall to the Tacoma Rainiers (32-27) 7-6 on Wednesday night at Cheney Stadium.

Geraldo Perdomo, who joined the Aces lineup in part of an MLB rehab assignment for a torn right meniscus, got Reno on the board in the first inning with an RBI single to drive in Albert Almora Jr.

The Aces gained a brief lead in the eighth inning behind back-to-back RBI doubles by Kyle Garlick and Deyvison De Los Santos.

Tristin English would dig in behind De Los Santos and find a hole up the middle for an RBI single, extending his hitting streak to eight games. In that span, the Georgia Tech alumni has gone 14-for-33 (.424) with two home runs and eight RBI.
