Isotopes Match All-Time Club Record with Ninth Straight Win
With their 5-3 win over the Nashville Sounds in game two of Tuesday's doubleheader, the Isotopes (43-53) have matched an all-time team record with their ninth win in a row. The 2006 Isotopes also won nine straight from April 18-27 of that year.
Albuquerque got on the board quickly in game two, striking for two runs in the bottom of the first inning when first baseman Ben Paulsen and catcher Dustin Garneau each knocked home a run.
The Isotopes added another run in the second inning on shortstop Joey Wong's RBI single to right field.
The fourth inning saw Isotopes third baseman Rafael Ynoa double home another run for his club, while right fielder Jordan Patterson singled home the Isotopes fifth and final run in the fifth inning.
Isotopes left fielder David Dahl extended his hitting streak to 11 games and has now recorded a hit in every game he has appeared in for Albuquerque.
Isotopes starter Chris Rusin exited the contest after four innings on the hill. In his second rehab start for Albuquerque, the left-hander allowed one run on four hits while walking one and striking out three. He received a no-decision.
In his first relief outing of the season, Shane Carle picked up the win for the Isotopes while improving his record to 4-8 on the year. The right-hander allowed two runs over the contest's final three innings, striking out six Nashville batters.
The Isotopes look for a historic 10th win in a row tomorrow evening from Isotopes Park. Manager Glenallen Hill will send right-hander Jeff Hoffman to the hill for the Isotopes. The Sounds have yet to announce a starter. First pitch on Wednesday is set for 7:05 p.m.
