Arizona Diamondbacks Minor Leaguer Hit Streak up to 29

Triple-A Reno Aces 10, Tacoma Raniers 12

The Aces dropped the first game of the series to Tacoma due to some poor pitching, and also some bad luck. Jorge Barrosa kept his hitting streak alive with a single in the first inning. But the speedy outfielder hit into a line drive triple play in the bottom of the second, which snuffed out a rally.

Cesar Gomez gave up five runs in the second inning, and left a one-out, bases loaded jam in the fourth. Yilber Diaz came on and walked in a batter, and then gave up a two run double. That closed out Gomez's line with eight runs allowed in 3.1 innings.

Diaz ended up allowing three runs on three walks, a base hit and a wild pitch. The once promising right-hander has seen his season turn into a disaster. His ERA now stands at 10.62. He's walked an astounding 51 batters in 41 innings. Spending time in the Complex League did nothing to solve his control issues.

Reno rapped out 16 hits and the offense was plentiful, just not enough to overcome the pitching. One bright note was Hayden Durke throwing a scoreless inning in his Triple-A debut. He was just promoted on Tuesday from Double-A.
