Sugar Land Space Cowboys News Release


(SUGAR LAND, Texas) - Pedro León belted a three-run home run as part of a seven-run first inning for the Sugar Land Space Cowboys on Thursday night.

The seven-run early outburst ended up not being enough, though, as the Space Cowboys went on to lose to the Albuquerque Isotopes, 9-7, at Constellation Field.

Justin Dirden scored Corey Julks on an RBI ground out in the first to get the Space Cowboys on the board and León followed three batters later with his homer, giving him 15 on the season. Alex De Goti delivered an RBI single and an error from Albuquerque third baseman Bret Boswell off the bat of Julks led to another pair of runs.

The Space Cowboys did not score again on the night as the Isotopes plated seven unanswered runs. They took the lead in the eighth on a pair of solo home runs from Boswell and Tim Lopes. Coco Montes padded the lead with a solo shot in the ninth.

Blake Taylor began an MLB Rehab Assignment by getting the start in Thursday's contest. Taylor, who is currently on the Houston Astros' 60-Day Injured List with left elbow discomfort, tossed 22 pitches and struck out a batter through 2/3 of an inning.

JP France tossed two scoreless innings of relief in the loss, striking out two batters and allowing just one hit. France is third in the Pacific Coast League with 127 strikeouts and fourth with a 4.01 ERA.

The Space Cowboys and Isotopes meet again at 7:05 p.m. on Friday at Constellation Field, with Jimmy Endersby set to face Karl Kauffmann.
