Wynton Bernard chipped in three hits of his own in his second game back in the lineup after being out of action from June 1-8 ... Sam Hilliard and Jose Gomez each had an RBI hit as Albuquerque built a 5-0 lead after two innings ... All Albuquerque starters had at least one base hit in the game.

TOEING THE RUBBER: Topes starter Dereck Rodríguez earned the win despite giving up six hits and five earned runs in five innings (four of the runs scored on a pair of two-run homers) ... Jesus Tinoco and Chad Smith each worked a scoreless frame ... Joe Harvey finally surrendered a run after throwing 12.0 consecutive scoreless innings to begin the season ...
