Tacoma Rainiers v. Reno Aces

• Where/When: Friday, June 3 at 7:05 p.m. at Cheney Stadium in Tacoma

Reno, with a 32-22 record so far after its first win against Tacoma in a three-game series capped off by Friday's game, currently sits at the top of the PCL Pacific North Division, ensuring an exciting series against the Rainiers who are 23-31.
