Fuentes’ Power, Lawrence’s Clutch Pitching Helps Isotopes Snap Skid

Isotopes 8 (52-66), Skeeters 6 (69-49) – Constellation Field | Sugar Land, TX

AT THE DISH: The Isotopes hit four home runs Sunday, led by Joshua Fuentes who blasted a solo shot in the third and a three-run homer in the fifth … Elehuris Montero and Taylor Snyder also went deep … Fuentes finished 3-for-5 … The four long balls tied for Albuquerque’s most in a game against Sugar Land this year, as they did so on Mother’s Day at RGCU Field.

TOEING THE RUBBER: Ryan Rolison (2-2, 7.12) pitched 5.2 innings of five-hit, four-run ball with no walks and six strikeouts, but most of the damage came in the sixth as he had only allowed one baserunners through five … Ben Bowden struck out a pair in a perfect seventh and has now pitched 7.2 innings of scoreless baseball at Triple-A this year with one hit allowed and 13 strikeouts … Justin Lawrence inherited a bases-loaded, nobody out jam in the eighth and allowed just one run to cross, then Lawrence got out of a bases-loaded one-out situation in the ninth to secure his 12th save of the season.

TOPES TIDBITS: Fuentes is now batting .368 in 39 career day games with the Topes, delivering 12 doubles, five triples, six home runs and 40 RBI in the sunshine … His two-homer afternoon was the 13th multi-home run game of the season for the Isotopes and first since Greg Bird hit two on Aug. 2 vs. Salt Lake … Albuquerque scored their most runs in a road game since Aug. 22 at Las Vegas when they lost 13-11.

ON DECK: The Isotopes and Skeeters will play the fifth contest of this six-game series tomorrow evening in Texas, with right-handers José Mujica (2-11, 8.96) and JP France (5-1, 3.53) set to toe the rubber for the respective teams. First pitch is scheduled for 6:05 MT (7:05 CT).
