The Bees went 9-8 against the Isotopes last season and split their only homestand against Albuquerque at The Ballpark at America First Square in 2025. Salt Lake has also posted a winning season series against the Isotopes in each of the last three years.Tuesday will mark the first of 18 meetings between Salt Lake and Albuquerque in 2026 and the first of two series between the clubs this month. This week's matchup is the only series between the teams at The Ballpark at America First Square this season. The Bees will travel to RGCU Field at Isotopes Park during the final week of June before making a return trip to Albuquerque in the final week of the season to close out the 2026 campaign.

May Wrap Up

Salt Lake finished the month of May with a 16-10 record, marking the club's best May since 2019, when the Bees went 17-13. Offensively, the Bees put together one of the most productive months in franchise history. Salt Lake batted .302 in May, ranking fourth in the Pacific Coast League, while scoring the third-most runs (193) and collecting the fourth-most extra-base hits (95). The club's .302 batting average was the highest May mark in franchise history (since records began in 2005) and made the Bees just the second team in franchise history to hit .300 or better during the month, joining the 2006 squad that batted .301. On the bases, Salt Lake continued to apply pressure, swiping 41 stolen bases in May- just one shy of the franchise record of 42 set during the 2009 season.

Who's Hot

Denzer Guzman turned in one of the best offensive months in franchise history during May, leading all of Triple-A with 42 hits while batting .382 with a 1.102 OPS. Guzman also paced Triple-A with 12 doubles and ranked second with 31 RBI, trailing only Charlotte's Jacob Gonzalez (36). With runners in scoring position, Guzman was especially dominant, batting .600 with a Triple-A-best 18 hits and 27 RBI, the second-highest total at the level and just two behind Gonzalez for the lead. His 42-hit month matched Terry Evans' Salt Lake franchise record for hits in May, set in 2007, while his 31 RBI finished just four shy of Sean Rodríguez's club record of 35 RBI in May, established in 2009. Among Bees hitters with at least 100 plate appearances in a May, Guzman's .382 batting average ranks as the third-highest in franchise history, trailing only Edwin Navarro (.387 in 2007) and Nathan Haynes (.385 in 2007).
