Torra Brilliant in 6-2 Aces Win
Reno has now won three-straight games, with a series sweep on the line Saturday night.

The right-hander took a shutout into the ninth and finished with eight hits and two runs-one earned-scattered over 8.1 frames. Torra walked one and punched out two in a 106-pitch effort. Jose Marte came on with one out in the ninth and recorded the final two outs of the ballgame.
At the dish for Reno, Ryan Roberts led the way with three hits, a run and an RBI. Tony Abreu singled and doubled, while driving in three runs. Brandon Allen and Cole Gillespie added two hits apiece, while Jeff Bailey drew a walk to extend his home on-base streak to a franchise-high 34-straight games.
