Topes double down in Vegas

Jordan Patterson’s grand slam helped the Albuquerque Isotopes put up a five-run third inning en route to an 8-4 triumph over the Las Vegas 51s on Thursday night in the Nevada desert.

Albuquerque started the post-All-Star break portion the right way, improving to 45-45 with seven weeks remaining in the regular season. The team was to complete a four-game road series in Las Vegas on Sunday evening, then host Tacoma from Monday through Thursday at Isotopes Park.

Rally falls just short; 51s win

Albuquerque’s ferocious rally at the end of Sunday night’s finale with the Las Vegas 51s produced six unanswered runs.

Trouble is, the Isotopes needed eight.

As a result, visiting Las Vegas escaped with a 13-11 victory to bring a curtain down on the first part of the Pacific Coast League schedule. Triple-A teams are on All-Star break through Wednesday, when the PCL takes on the International League in its version of the Midsummer Classic.

Triple trouble - Isotopes hit...

David Dahl made the Tacoma Rainiers pay with a triple that scored three runs for the Albuquerque Isotopes in the fourth inning.

But it was solid pitching and defense that proved just as important in the Isotopes’ 6-5 victory.
