Albuquerque, NM. - The road trip through Albuquerque began with an 8-2 loss at Isotopes Park. Right-hander Kris Medlen was tagged for his fifth loss of the season, moving Reno to a record of 17-24 on the year.

Albuquerque got into the scoring column in the bottom of the second inning. Tom Murphy hit his 11th dinger of the 2018 campaign, scoring two runs to give the 'Topes their first lead of the evening. The home squad would go on to score in every inning except for the fourth. The Aces bullpen tossed 2.2 innings and allowed two earned runs.
