Albuquerque, N.M. – Four runs in the final three innings were not enough for the Reno Aces (61-47) in an 8-4 loss to the Albuquerque Isotopes (49-58) Thursday night at Rio Grande Credit Union Field at Isotopes Park in front of 4,123 attendees.
Reno faced an early 5-0 deficit when the Isotopes plated five runs in the first inning.
Trailing 6-0 in the seventh, the Aces recorded a three-run frame highlighted by a two-run homer from Wilmer Difo to trim Albuquerque’s lead to 6-3.
Wilmer Difo gets us on the board 💪

Drey Jameson (L, 4-8) was hooked with the loss after the right-hander matched a season-high seven innings pitched, allowed eight hits, six earned runs, two walks and struck out four batters.
