RENO, Nev. – The Reno Aces (24–26) clawed back from a five-run deficit on Saturday night at Greater Nevada Field but failed to capitalize in the final frames, falling 8–7 to the Albuquerque Isotopes (21–28), the Triple-A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies.
Aramis Garcia delivered the highlight of the evening, launching a go-ahead two-run home run off Diego Castillo in the seventh inning to cap Reno’s six-run rally. The blast marked Garcia’s 10th of the season, giving him the team lead and tying him for fourth in the Pacific Coast League. The red-hot backstop is slashing .341/.413/.854 with seven home runs and 13 RBI in just 12 games in May.

Trey Mancini continued to anchor the lineup, driving in two with a double as part of Reno’s big seventh inning. The 33-year-old is now slashing .286/.353/.465 with 12 doubles, seven home runs, and 34 RBI on the season.
Reno will aim to clinch the series in Sunday’s finale against Albuquerque. First pitch is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. PST.
