Just one night after being held to a single run, the Reno Aces returned the favor and limited the El Paso Chihuahuas to a single tally during Reno\u2019s 7-1 win against El Paso on Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Right-hander Brandon Pfaadt drew the start and was tagged for just one unearned run in the bottom of the first, as a fielding error against the first batter came around to bite on a ground-rule double by the Chihuahuas (34-40). That tally came in response to the Aces (32-42) scoring the game\u2019s first run with their first set of swings, putting two aboard in front of a Tyler Locklear RBI single into center.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Pfaadt found a groove after that frame, allowing just one more hit while striking out four batters without a walk. Pfaadt\u2019s exit after 3.1 innings gave way to the trio of Juan Burgos (1-4), Dylan Ray, and Gerardo Carrillo who combined to go the final 5.2 frames without allowing a run on two hits. Earning the win with 1.1 run-free frames was Burgos, his first win of 2026.<\/p>\n
The 1-1 score held until the top of the fifth when the Aces scored in four consecutive innings, all of which started with a go-ahead homer to start the fifth by Danny Serretti. In his first game back with the Aces, Serretti unloaded on a 2-1 offering and crushed it out to center field.<\/p>\n
Christian Cerda and Kristian Robinson collected RBI singles in the sixth before a Jose Fernandez triple brough home one more in the seventh. Representing the game\u2019s final runs were the duo of Cerda and Serretti, both of which raced around the bases on a Robinson double to left field.\u00a0<\/p>\n
All nine Aces in the starting lineup recorded at least one hit, with a pair of three-hit games by Robinson and Serretti. The former of the two doubled while driving in three runs, while the latter scored twice and homered. Four others had multi-hit games including a 2-for-4 effort with a run scored and RBI from Cerda.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Reno\u2019s victory means they can salvage a series split with a win tomorrow, and the Aces will look to halve this six-game set when the two teams meet for the series finale on Sunday at 5:05 pm.<\/p>\n
