The extra innings game was the fourth on the year for the Isotopes who have dropped each contest. Albuquerque is the only team in the PCL without an extra innings victory.
Isotopes starter Yency Almonte registered his second quality start in as many outings, allowing three runs over his 6.0 innings on the mound. The right-hander struck out four and walked one.
At the plate, Jordan Patterson extended his hitting streak to 11 games. He finished the evening 1-for-4 with a walk.
The Isotopes are back in action at Isotopes Park on Saturday when they open a four-game series against the Nashville Sounds. First pitch in the series opener is set for 6:35 p.m.
