RENO, Nev. – The Reno Aces (4-12, 41-50) fell in extra innings on Friday night, dropping a wild 11-10 contest to the Tacoma Rainiers (10-6, 48-43), the Triple-A affiliate of the Seattle Mariners, at Greater Nevada Field.

Despite the loss, Reno’s offense stayed hot, collecting 16 hits, including nine for extra bases, with six players recording multi-hit performances.

Seth Brown continued to mash at the Triple-A level, launching his 10th homer of the season to put the Aces on the board in the second inning. In 15 games split between Reno and Las Vegas this year, the veteran is slashing an absurd .441/.472/.926 with 13 extra-base hits and 19 RBI.

Andy Weber stayed locked in, going 2-for-5 with a solo shot in the sixth—his seventh long ball of the season. Since June 20, he’s hitting .349 (29-for-83) with 12 extra-base hits and 12 RBI.

Aramis Garcia continued his tear at the plate, finishing 3-for-4 with a double. The veteran catcher has now posted three straight multi-hit games and is riding a six-game hitting streak, during which he’s 10-for-20 (.500) with four doubles, a homer, and four RBI.

Connor Kaiser stayed hot with a pair of doubles and an RBI in the sixth. The flashy infielder has flipped the script on his season, going 25-for-72 (.347) with 14 extra-base hits, 12 RBI, and 10 walks since June 14. Over that span, his slash line has jumped from .198/.314/.351 to .242/.351/.439.
