-The Isotopes allowed double-digit runs for the 11 th time this year and first since relenting 21 vs. Oklahoma City April 25. The 13 runs permitted are tied for the 6 th -most on the year.

-Round Rock's Adrian Sampson tossed 6.0 frames and allowed just one run, the third quality start against the Isotopes this year (last: May 1 vs. Round Rock, Owen White).

-In the first inning, Kauffmann surrendered five runs, tied for the most tallies allowed in the opening frame in 2024 (also: April 7 at Oklahoma City).
