Albuquerque Isotopes News Release


NEED TO KNOW: The Oklahoma City Dodgers (79-51) pulled away from the Albuquerque Isotopes (56-75) 8-2 late Tuesday night at Isotopes Park. Oklahoma City scored six runs in the final three frames. The Isotopes only runs came off a Cristhian Adames solo homer in the first inning and a Tommy Murphy solo shot in the ninth.

THE TURNING POINT: Oklahoma City quickly jumped on the board with a Corey Seager solo homer in the first, but Albuquerque immediately responded with a solo blast of their own in the first courtesy of Cristhian Adames. It wasn't until the fifth when the Dodgers managed to retake the lead with a two-out single by Seager. OKC plated three more runs in both the seventh and eighth innings to pull away from the Topes. Albuquerque managed just one more run when Tommy Murphy led off the ninth with a solo homer.

ATTA BOY ADAMES: Cristhian Adames mashed a solo home run in the first inning, providing one Albuquerque's only two runs, and finished the game 2-for-4 with a run scored, an RBI and a homer. Adames has now hit safely in 21 of 24 games in August. During that stretch, he is batting .396 (38-for-96) with 14 runs scored, three doubles, a triple, three homers, seven RBI and 11 walks.
