Brian Serven hit a solo shot in the fourth before Alan Trejo did the same an inning later ... The Topes took the lead for good when Nick Longhi snapped a 6-all tie with an RBI single in the eighth ... LJ Hatch then followed with a two-run double ... Taylor Motter capped Albuquerque's scoring with his league-leading 21st blast of the season, a two-run shot in the ninth ... Trejo, Motter, Bird and Snyder all scored a pair of runs ... Every starter in the Topes lineup recorded at least one knock, including pitcher Ryan Castellani.

TOEING THE RUBBER: Castellani (3-7, 7.79) turned in a solid start with four hits and three runs allowed in five innings ... Julian Fernández pitched around a pair of hits in the eighth to turn in a scoreless frame in his Triple-A debut.

TOPES TIDBITS: Albuquerque hit five home runs in a road game for the first time since July 14, 2019, also in El Paso ... Motter has connected on 10 long balls since July 15, a span of 36 at-bats ...

ON DECK: Triple-A West will take their weekly Wednesday off, and the Isotopes launch a 12-game, 13-day homestand with the series opener against Salt Lake (AAA Angels) Thursday at 6:35 PM.
