West Sacramento, Calif. – A two-run homer by designated hitter Jason Krizan was a bright spot as the Sacramento River Cats (61-76) fell 9-2 on Friday to the first-place Reno Aces (76-61) in a road game at Sutter Health Park.

Three pitches later, Krizan lined an 0-2 sinker 390 feet to right field to get Sacramento on the board (100.5 MPH exit velocity).

Reno righty Deyni Olivero (1-0) earned his first Triple-A win despite zero strikeouts, allowing just the two runs on Krizan’s big fly over 5.2 innings.

Sacramento righty Michael Stryffeler and lefty Aaron Fletcher each spun a scoreless inning of relief, with Stryffeler striking out one.
