Albuquerque Isotopes News Release
Round Rock, TX - Noah Davis tossed 5.2 shutout, no-hit innings while Hunter Goodman mashed two homers and a double while tallying five RBI but the Express once again used a big inning, plating nine runs in the seventh, en route to a triumph, 9-6, and complete the six-game sweep of the Isotopes Sunday night at Dell Diamond.
Topes Scope: - Charlie Blackmon went 1-for-5 with a double and a run scored. Over his two rehab games with the club, he is 3-for-10 with two doubles and an RBI.
-Goodman completed the eighth two-homer game by an Isotopes player this season and first since Michael Toglia stroked two June 28 vs El Paso.
- Goodman connected on his third and fourth homers in his fifth game with the Isotopes-his fourth multi-homer game in 2023 (three with Double-A Hartford). He also tallied his third five RBI contest this year (two with Hartford).
Six of his seven hits with Albuquerque have gone for extra bases (two doubles). In his last eight games between Albuquerque and Hartford, he has five dingers. Goodman has also tallied an RBI in four games with the Isotopes (13 total RBI). He has two-straight multi-hit games as well while recording his third three-hit game, tying a season-high.
-Davis is the second Isotopes pitcher to toss five-plus innings of no-hit ball this year (also: Phillips Valdez, 5.0 IP, vs. El Paso July 2). Additionally, he is the fourth hurler to toss at least 5.0 frames and not allow a run (also: Ty Blach, 5.0 IP, vs. Tacoma May 18; Valdez, 5.0 IP, vs. El Paso July 2; and Chris Flexen, 5.0 IP, at Sugar Land July 23).
-Davis (5.2 IP) and Josh Rogers (0.1) completed 6.0 hitless frames, the longest no-hit bid for the Isotopes since Chi-Chi Gonzalez May 23, 2019.
-The Isotopes suffered their second six-game sweep in club history and second this season (also: at Reno, June 20-25). It's the ninth time a Pacific Coast League (PCL) club has been swept since moving to the six-game format in 2021. Albuquerque becomes the third PCL club to be swept multiple times (also: Salt Lake, thrice; and Round Rock, twice).
-Round Rock has swept Albuquerque for the sixth time in club history and the fifth time in Texas (also: July 4-6, 2006; Aug. 27-30, 2007; June 30-July 3, 2008; and Sept. 2-5, 2011).
Albuquerque extended its losing streak to eight games, the longest skid since the club lost a franchise record 13-straight from June 27-30, 2016.
-The Isotopes have also lost 10-straight at Dell Diamond, establishing a new worst (previous: nine, Aug. 27, 2007 - Aug. 29, 2008).
-Albuquerque is 4-3 in second-half series finales and have lost two-straight such contests.
-In his first rehab game with the club, Nick Mears worked a quick 1-2-3 eighth inning, fanning two hitters. It's his first non-ACL action since June 27 vs. Los Angeles (NL).
-In his fifth rehab game with the Isotopes, Sean Bouchard went 0-for-3 with a walk. Over those rehab games, Bouchard is 3-for-16 with two RBI and five walks. In 11 rehab games between ACL, High-A Fresno and Albuquerque, he is 8-for-32 (.250) with two doubles, a homer, seven RBI and five walks.
-Coco Montes collected two hits, including a double, for his team-leading 35th multi-hit effort of the year and second in his last five games.
-Aaron Schunk tallied a double, just his second extra-base hit in his last nine games (also: triple, Aug. 4 vs. Las Vegas). He has also struck out in 10-straight contests, a season high.
-Davis picked off Elier Hernandez at second base in the fourth frame, the 14th pickoff of the year for the Isotopes.
-Albuquerque played its 61st error-free contest of the year. Their 74 errors are tied for the second-fewest in the PCL (leader: Reno, 71).
-Isotope batters drew just two walks for the 15th time this year and second-straight night.
-Albuquerque surrendered nine runs in the seventh inning, the second-most in an inning this year (most: 11, July 30 vs. Sacramento). The club relented six-plus runs in an inning in four of the six games during the series. Additionally, the club allowed eight-plus runs twice (game 1, fourth inning, eight runs).
-The Isotopes permitted just four hits for the third time this year. However, the club lost its first game of the season after conceding four or fewer hits in a game (5-1).
