AT THE DISH: Taylor Motter hit a pair of home runs, a solo shot in the second and a two-run blast in the fifth … Brian Serven connected on his sixth home run of the season … Alan Trejo knocked in two more runs (including the game-tying sac fly in the tenth), giving him 18 RBI in July … Six of Albuquerque’s eight hits were of the extra-base hit variety.
TOEING THE RUBBER: José Mujica turned in another good start, giving up four hits and three runs over five innings … Chris Rusin and Tate Scioneaux combined to give up three runs in the seventh to tie the game, including a two-run shot by C.J. Hinojosa … Heath Holder surrendered three runs (one earned) in the two extra innings and took the loss.
TOPES TIDBITS: The two teams combined for 21 hits, 16 for extras … Albuquerque did not commit an error for the tenth consecutive game, their longest stretch since going 13 errorless contests in a row in June 2006 … Wynton Bernard made a tumbling catch in center field to rob Jose Siri in the eighth inning and blew kisses to the crowd afterwards … The Isotopes lost a game when leading after six innings for the third time this season.
