-Tonight's walk-off loss is the sixth of the season for Albuquerque and the first since June 15 when Tacoma's Taylor Trammell hit an RBI double in the 10th frame to secure a 4-3 victory. It's just the second non-extra-inning walk-off of the year (also: May 13 at Salt Lake) and the second walk-off homer (also: Round Rock, Rafael Ortega, two-run homer)
-Albuquerque drops to 12-24 in games with a margin of two or fewer in 2023 and the fifth loss against Sugar Land in such contests this year (1-5).

-The Isotopes stole four bases on the night, tied for the fourth-most in a game in 2023 (three times). Since July, the club is 35-for-39 in stolen bases attempts, which is tied with El Paso for the most steals in all of Triple-A. They have eight multi-stolen base games during that span.
-Tommy Doyle relented the three-run homer in the ninth and was charged with his first blown save of the season in four chances. Additionally, it's the club's 21st blown save of the year, the second-most in the Pacific Coast League (leader: Las Vegas, 23).
-Jimmy Herron blasted his 12th homer of the year, picked up his 24th multi-hit performance, ninth multi-RBI effort and sixth three RBI game. He also stole a base, his seventh of July, which leads the team during that span. Additionally, he has reached in 15 of his last 16 games with nine multi-hit efforts.

-Daniel Montaño tallied a double and two walks. He reached base three times for the fifth time this year. Two of his nine extra-base hits this season have come in the last two games.
-Jeff Criswell tossed 4.2 frames and did not factor into the decision after tossing 4.2 frames and allowing three runs on three hits and five walks (tying season high: June 25 at Reno) while fanning four. He did not allow a hit through the first 4.0 innings.
-Sugar Land's Jairo Solis is the eighth pitcher, ninth time, to strikeout seven Isotopes in a game, the most since the Dodgers' Gavin Stone fanned eight July 9 in Oklahoma City. It's Solis' second time fanning seven Isotopes (also: June 8)
