Tacoma Rainiers News Release
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- The Tacoma Rainiers let a late lead slip away in a 4-3 extra-innings loss to the Albuquerque Isotopes at Isotopes Park on Monday night.
The Rainiers held a 3-1 edge before surrendering a pair of runs in the bottom of the eighth inning. Dustin Garneau brought the Isotopes within a run after leading off the bottom of the frame with a home run, and Kyle Parker evened the score with an RBI single two outs later.
Garneau went on to homer again in the tenth inning to give Albuquerque a walk-off win in the first game of Tacoma's four-game series at the Isotopes.
Chris Taylor was responsible for driving in two of Tacoma's three runs in the series opener. The shortstop broke up a 1-1 tie with an RBI single in the third inning, and then delivered another run-scoring single in the eighth. Taylor ended the third game of his rehab stint with the Rainiers going 2-for-3 with two RBI and a walk.
Ketel Marte and Shawn O'Malley posted Tacoma's other multi-hit outings after each collected a pair of hits. Marte ended the night 2-for-5 with a pair of singles and a run scored. O'Malley went 2-for-3 with an RBI single.
Reliever Forrest Snow (0-1) was dealt the loss after surrendering the tenth inning home run to Garneau. Starting pitcher Mike Montgomery limited the Isotopes to one run on five hits in 6.0 innings in his Rainiers debut. The left-hander walked one and struck out three.
