Reno will send left-hander Mitch Bratt to the mound. Bratt owns a 0-0 record this season. He will be opposed by Albuquerque left-hander Sean Sullivan, who also is 0-0.

A key hitter to watch for Reno is first baseman Luken Baker. He is coming off a strong performance Sunday, going 2 for 3 with a home run and two RBIs in a 9-4 loss to Tacoma. For the Isotopes, designated hitter Conner Capel has started the season hot, collecting three hits and two RBIs over the first two games.
