Rainiers 5 (26-20), Isotopes 4 (15-33) – RGCU Field at Isotopes Park

AT THE DISH: Nick Longhi led the way by going 4-for-4 with two doubles and a walk … *Brian Serven *had his first three-hit game of the season … Wynton Bernard and Scott Burcham each picked up a pair of knocks … Greg Bird ignited a three-run seventh with a solo homer, his eighth of the season … With two outs and nobody on base in the ninth, a walk and a hit batter was followed by an RBI single from Wynton Bernard before Ryan Vilade flied out to the warning track on a nice running catch by former Isotope Dillon Thomas to end it.

TOEING THE RUBBER: Topes starter Brandon Gold gave up a leadoff homer to Jarred Kelenic for the second time in the series and ended up with five innings of eight-hit, three-run ball … Jesus Tinoco (0-2) worked a scoreless sixth and seventh but gave up a leadoff hit in the eighth, and that runner came around to score with Logan Cozart on the mound as Luis Liberato hit the go-ahead two-run single … Southpaw Chris Rusin kept Tacoma off the board in the ninth.

TOPES TIDBITS: An announced crowd of 6,115 marked the second-best weekday attendance for at RGCU Field in 2021 next to 7,171 on Opening Night … The game lasted 3 hours and 57 minutes, the longest nine-inning contest of the season for Albuquerque … Longhi’s four-hit game was the second such occurrence for an Isotopes batter this season (Taylor Motter, June 15 at Salt Lake) … The two teams combined to leave 26 runners on base for the second time in four games … The Isotopes were 3-for-14 with runners in scoring position.

ON DECK: After the usual Wednesday off in Triple-A West, the Isotopes will remain home and start the month of July by welcoming the El Paso Chihuahuas (AAA San Diego) for a 6:35 PM first pitch on Thursday. Southpaw Ian Clarkin (0-4, 8.48) is scheduled to get the baseball for Albuquerque, while El Paso’s starter is to be determined. Gates open at 5:30.
