Aces Sweep Doubleheader Over Salt Lake
In the opener, Reno trailed by a run entering the seventh and final frame. With two on and the Aces down to their final out, pinch-hitter Sean Burroughs hit a two-run single that gave Reno its first lead of the game and a 5-4 victory.
Jason Urquidez (2-0) dealt 1.2 scoreless frames to earn the win in game one1. Starter Zach Kroenke allowed four runs on six hits over 5.1 innings of work.
In the nightcap, Tom Layne (3-1) was excellent in a spot start, earning the victory after holding Salt Lake to just one run over six innings. Former Bees reliever Rafael Rodriguez picked up his third save of the season following a perfect frame in a 4-1 Aces win.
At the dish for Reno on the day, Peña's three homers give him a Pacific Coast League leading 12 on the season. He recorded four hits on the day-including three of Reno's four in the nightcap.
