The Reno Aces dropped Sunday’s series finale to the Sugar Land Space Cowboys, the Triple-A affiliate of the Houston Astros, in a 12-6 loss at Greater Nevada Field. With the defeat, the Aces settled for a series split with the Space Cowboys.
Despite the loss, Andy Weber and AJ Vukovich both went deep. Vukovich launched his 10th home run of the season in the fifth inning—a two-run shot off Michael Knorr—to snap a 0-for-28 slump.
Weber followed with his first homer of the year in the seventh, a solo blast off Jayden Murray. The infielder finished the day with two hits and is now slashing .212/.312/.273 with two extra-base hits and six RBI through 22 games.
Following Sunday’s loss, the Aces will hit the road to open a six-game set against the El Paso Chihuahuas, the Triple-A affiliate of the San Diego Padres. The series begins Tuesday, June 17, with first pitch scheduled for 5:35 p.m.
