Reno, NV – Jorge Barrosa came a home run shy of the cycle in a 10-2 Reno Aces (39-31) win over the Albuquerque Isotopes (27-43) Tuesday afternoon at Greater Nevada Field.

Barrosa singled, doubled, tripled, and stole a base in an electric showing. The Aces put together long, quality at-bats throughout the afternoon, forcing action and taking control of the contest. Reno went 6-for-14 with runners in scoring position.

P.J. Higgins blasted a solo homer in the second to give Reno a 1-0 lead, his sixth of the season. Higgins, Barrosa, José Herrera, Jake Hager, and Dominic Canzone recorded multiple hits in the win. Canzone, the PCL’s reigning Player of the Week, drove in a run and reached three times.

The Aces and Isotopes continue their six-game series Wednesday night at 6:35 p.m. Slade Cecconi, Reno’s strikeout leader, is the probable starter.
