Albuquerque - 11

OKC Dodgers - 10

Sunday, May 23, 2021 – Rio Grande Credit Union Field at Isotopes Park – Albuquerque, N.M.

Game Summary: The Oklahoma City Dodgers hit four home runs and totaled nine extra-base hits en route to scoring 10 runs, but it wasn’t enough to prevent a furious comeback by Albuquerque, as the Isotopes stormed back to win, 11-10, Sunday afternoon. The Dodgers (4-12) built a 10-1 lead heading into the bottom of the seventh inning before the Isotopes (5-11) scored six run in the bottom of the seventh, aided by two OKC errors and two other defensive miscues. The Isotopes tied the game in the eighth inning with three more runs, and then won in the bottom of the ninth when Brian Serven led off the inning with a walk-off home run for his second homer of the day. Rangel Ravelo hit two homers for the Dodgers and Cody Bellinger went deep in his first at-bat during the second game of his rehab assignment.

Of Note:

-The Dodgers reached double digits in the run column for the second time in three games and set season highs with 13 hits, nine extra-base hits and four home runs. The team notched five doubles to set a new season high.

-Pitcher Tony Gonsolin made his first start of his rehab assignment and completed three scoreless, efficient innings. He retired nine of 10 batters faced overall, allowing one hit with three strikeouts. Gonsolin threw 38 pitches (30 strikes) in his first game action of 2021.

-Cody Bellinger returned to the lineup to play in the second game of his rehab assignment. He started in center field and went 1-for-4 with a solo homer, playing seven innings in the field. Bellinger connected on a home run to right-center field in his first at-bat.

-Zach McKinstry played in the third game of his rehab assignment and started in right field, also playing seven innings. McKinstry doubled to right-center field in the first inning for his first hit since joining OKC and finished Sunday 1-for-4.

-Ravelo hit a two-run homer in the fourth inning and hit a solo homer in his next at-bat in the fifth inning. It was the second multi-homer game of the series by a Dodger, joining Keibert Ruiz.

-The Isotopes scored six runs in the bottom of the seventh, tied for the highest-scoring inning by an opponent this series.
