From milb.com:
Josh Whitesell blasted a two-run home run in the seventh inning Thursday night, unlocking a 6-6 tie and lifting Reno to its sixth-straight victory, an 8-6 win over Portland at PGE Park.
The Beavers posted three runs in the fifth, tying the score at six apiece. In the seventh, though, that deadlock was undone, as Whitesell hammered a Jonathan Ellis offering deep over the wall in right to put the Aces on top 8-6. The Aces bullpen would make the lead stand up, and Reno jumped above the .500 mark for the first time this season.
