One night after hitting a home run in the RMHC Triple-A All-Star Game, Luis Urías hit his 18th regular season homer of the season for El Paso. The Isotopes scored eight runs in the second inning, matching the most runs allowed in an inning this season by the Chihuahuas. Albuquerque's Drew Weeks hit two homers in the inning to tie a Pacific Coast League record.
Former San Diego Padres first baseman Yonder Alonso had two RBIs for Albuquerque Thursday in his first game in the Colorado Rockies organization.
