David Dahl drove in four runs on the night for the Isotopes, playing in his fourth rehab game with the Isotopes. The Rockies outfielder highlighted his performance with a three-RBI triple in the fourth inning.
The three-base hit was one of three triples for the Isotopes, matching a season-high set twice before in 2017. Rosell Herrera and Noel Cuevas each also contributed triples, giving the Isotopes 54 on the year. That number leads all of Minor League and Major League Baseball.

Reliever Austin House shut the door, earning his second save of the season for the Isotopes after Shane Carle allowed two runs in the seventh and eighth innings.
