Late Rally Falls Short in Loss to Aces
Mike Tauchman's four-hit night helped the Isotopes (21-21) mount a late rally Friday, but the Aces (18-24) held off Albuquerque for a 9-7 win at Isotopes Park.
Tauchman was a double shy from hitting for the cycle, compiling two singles, a triple and a home run. The outfielder had a chance to complete the cycle in the ninth inning, but flew out to right. Tauchman's home run was his sixth of the year and ignited a four-run eighth inning for the Isotopes.
Albuquerque registered three home runs overall on the evening, despite also striking out a season high 18 times.

The Isotopes and Aces continue their four-game series on Saturday night. Albuquerque has not announced a starting pitcher for the contest. First pitch from Isotopes Park is schedule for 6:35 p.m.
