Reno Blanks Tacoma Behind Helmink Tuesday, September 9th , 2025 The Tacoma Rainiers manager was philosophical in the clubhouse following a shutout loss to the Reno Aces. The Rainiers were overpowered by Reno starter Holden Helmink, who hurled his club to victory, 4-0. "It was just one of those games -- shake it off and do better next time," Mario Garza said. Over 9 innings, Helmink blanked Tacoma on 7 hits with 2 walks and 6 strikeouts. "I kept them off balance. I could tell a lot of them were late on fastballs because they were fouling them off. Once you see that, it sets them up for other pitches," Helmink said. "I set them up, where if they chased one breaking ball, they were going to chase another one." This season, Helmink has crafted a 7-15 mark with a 5.14 ERA in 194.1 innings. Opposing clubs are batting .284 against him and he has 138 strikeouts. View Boxscore |
