The Reno Aces were firing on all cylinders in Sunday’s series finale, taking down the Oklahoma City Comets, the Triple-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers, in a 6-2 victory at Greater Nevada Field.
Bryce Jarvis delivered a strong bounce-back outing on the mound, allowing just one run over 5 2/3 innings with five strikeouts and four walks to earn his third win of the season.
After struggling in Tuesday’s start, the right-hander looked far more composed. The bullpen handled the rest, combining for 3 1/3 innings and surrendering only one run while recording five walks and five strikeouts.
Seth Brown led the charge offensively, going 2-for-3 with two doubles and three RBI. The veteran outfielder put Reno on the board early with an RBI double in the first, then widened the gap in the fifth with a two-run double into the left-center field gap. Brown will carry a scorching .376/.438/.761 slash line into next week’s series against Las Vegas.
Albert Almora Jr. set the tone at the top of the lineup, finishing 2-for-5 with two RBI. He capped off Reno’s scoring with run-scoring singles in the sixth and eighth innings. Since joining the BLC-Nine on June 27, Almora has slashed .326/.408/.500 with eight extra-base hits and 13 RBI.
Andy Weber continued his hot July, adding two hits and an RBI single in the fifth. The infielder is now hitting .295 (26-for-88) this month with eight extra-base hits—including two home runs—and 10 RBI.
The Aces now hit the road for a two-week trip, beginning with a six-game series against the Las Vegas Aviators. First pitch is scheduled for Tuesday, July 29 at 7:05 p.m.
