The Arizona Diamondbacks went 2-2 on Tuesday night, as runs were flowing on both sides in all four games. The D-backs affiliates batters scored 32 runs and allowed a whopping 41 across the four contests.

Triple-A Reno Aces 18, Salt Lake Bees 15

No, the score is not a typo. This game saw 33 runs, 35 hits, 7 home runs, 15 walks, three errors, (all by Salt Lake). One Salt Lake player, 33-year old journeyman catcher Chad Wallach, had not one, but two grand slams. Welcome to the Pacific Coast League.

Bryce Jarvis got the start and was spotted a 4-1 lead in the bottom of the first inning thanks to a three-run double by Kevin Graham. But Jarvis gave up a grand slam to the number nine hitter Wallach, as Reno fell behind 5-4.

Jarvis bounced back to throw three more scoreless innings to make it through five. When he left the game he had a 13-5 lead. That's because the Aces scored nine runs off former Diamondback Touki Toussaint. The Damage included an A.J. Vukovich RBI Triple, Trey Mancini solo homer, and a two-run single from recently crowned PCL Player of the week Tristin English. He also had a two run double in the sixth.

32-year old Trevor Richards, pitching for his third Triple-A team this year, and second game for the Aces, gave up six runs in the sixth to put the Bees right back in it. The big blow in that inning was Wallach's second grand slam . Wallach is a career .198 hitter in the Major Leagues with 11 homers and 39 RBI in seven seasons.

Reno scored four more in the bottom half of the sixth, and Salt lake answered back with four in the top of the seventh inning off of Kyle Nelson, who recorded just one out. Jorge Barrosa hit a solo homer in the bottom of the eighth, a monster blast to the top of the berm in right, to close out the scoring.

He threw three scoreless frames from the third through though the fifth and was trailing 2-1 heading to the sixth. Two more scored in the sixth on an RBI double and a sacrifice fly to blemish his record however.

The Hops bullpen let the game get out of hand allowing three runs in the seventh and eighth innings as the Indians put the game away.
