Baby Cakes Take Second Straight from Isotopes

Matt Holliday finished the night 2-for-4, with a run scored, two doubles and four RBI, but it was not enough as the Baby Cakes took their second in a row from the Isotopes, defeating Albuquerque, 7-6.

In three games with the Isotopes, Holliday is now 4-for-10 with five RBI, four walks and a .571 on-base percentage. The 38-year-old has appeared as a designated hitter, left fielder and first baseman with Albuquerque.
Isotopes starter Sam Howard had to exit the game after taking a line drive off his throwing shoulder after just five pitches.
Scott McGough took over on the hill for Howard and tossed 3.2 scoreless innings. Brooks Pounders was the only other reliever to have a scoreless outing, recording two outs on the evening.
The Baby Cakes scored all seven of their runs over the contest's final four frames against the usually steady arms of Jerry Vasto, Santiago Casilla and DJ Johnson out of the Isotopes bullpen.
Albuquerque and New Orleans continue their four-game set on Monday from Isotopes Park when righty Peter Lambert takes the hill for the Isotopes. First pitch from the Lab is set for 6:35 p.m.
