Albuquerque, N.M. – Jake Hager’s go-ahead two-run blast paired with Brandon Pfaadt’s stellar start fueled the Reno Aces’ (63-48) 5-1 win over the Albuquerque Isotopes (50-60) Sunday evening at Rio Grande Credit Union Field at Isotopes Park.

Pfaadt (W,2-0) dominated on Sunday with six innings of one-run ball on one hit (season-low), two walks and struck out 10 batters to earn his second win as an Ace.

I'm sure he's not complaining about the insurance, but Brandon Pfaadt might not need it 💪

The Aces grabbed an early 1-0 lead in the first when Dominic Canzone lined an RBI single to plate Corbin Carroll from second.

Tied at one in the fifth, Hager belted a two-run shot to left for a 3-1 Aces advantage.

Stay until the end for a very happy Jose Herrera 😁
