Albuquerque Isotopes News Release


Sacramento, CA - Albuquerque held a 2-1 lead heading into the bottom of the sixth inning but allowed seven Sacramento runs in the frame to drop the series finale, 8-3, to the River Cats Sunday afternoon at Sutter Health Field

Topes Scope: With the loss, the Isotopes were swept for the first time since losing six-straight at Round Rock Aug. 8-13, 2023.

-Kris Bryant, playing in his third rehab game on his current rehab stint, went 5-for-5 with a solo homer. He has connected on homers in two-straight contests. It was his first five-hit game since Aug. 18, 2016, with Chicago vs. Milwaukee. He is 6-for-11 with two homers over his three games with Albuquerque.

-Albuquerque falls to 1-8 against the River Cats in 2024, and with only six games remaining between the clubs this year, Sacramento has clinched the season series. It's the Isotopes first season-series loss to Sacramento since 2021 (2-3).

-Tanner Gordon tossed 5.0 frames of one-run ball while striking out eight, setting a new season-high. It's tied for the second-most punchouts in a game by an Isotopes pitcher in 2024 (most: Noah Davis, eight, vs. Sugar Land April 14).

-The Isotopes pitching staff fanned 12 batters, the most since striking out 13 June 28 vs. Salt Lake and three off the season-high April 12 vs. Sugar Land.
