Isotopes Open Series in Vegas with 6-3 Win

The Isotopes (19-18) remain red-hot, defeating the Las Vegas 51s (14-23), 6-3, on Saturday night from Cashman Field. Albuquerque has now won 11 of its last 14 contests and sits three games out of first place in the PCL's Pacific Southern division.

Raimel Tapia had a stellar night at the plate, finishing the evening 4-for-5 with two doubles and an RBI.
Josh Fuentes also remains hot at the dish, recording his third home run of the season while knocking home his team-leading 29^th and 30^th RBI of the season.
Isotopes starting pitcher Sam Howard had to exit the game early after an apparent injury. The southpaw was dealing on the mound, shutting out the 51s over his 4.1 innings. He received a no-decision.
After Howard's exit, Isotopes manager Glenallen Hill turned to Nelson Gonzalez, Austin House, Jerry Vasto and DJ Johnson to finish off the 51s.
Albuquerque and Las Vegas are back in action on Sunday for a Mother's Day matinee from Cashman Field. The Isotopes will send David Holmberg to the mound as they look to remain in the win column. First pitch from Las Vegas is set for 1:05 p.m.
