Game Summary
Salt Lake wasted little time getting on the board. In the second inning, J.D. Davis drew a walk, and Ryan Noda followed with a single. Scott Kingery then delivered an RBI single to bring home Davis followed by Chuckie Robinson adding another RBI single, scoring Noda. Yolmer Sánchez kept the rally going with a single, but the inning ended with a double play, limiting the damage to two runs.
After a quiet third, the Bees struck for four runs in the fourth inning. Kingery led off with a double and scored on Robinson’s single. Later, Matthew Lugo hit a ground-rule double down the left-field line, plating two more runs. Gustavo Campero capped off the inning with an RBI triple, pushing Salt Lake’s lead to 6-0.
Starting pitcher Brett Kerry was dominant, tossing five shutout innings while allowing just one hit and striking out five. Albuquerque finally broke through in the sixth inning against reliever Mason Erla, scoring their lone run on a double-play grounder by Zac Veen. That would be the only offense the Isotopes could muster all night.
Salt Lake put the game out of reach with a massive nine-run eighth inning. After loading the bases, four walks, a hit by pitch, four singles and an error compounded the Isotopes’ misery. Kingery, Robinson, and Sánchez all delivered RBI hits, while Zach Neto and Lugo each drew bases-loaded walks. By the time the dust settled, the Bees had extended their lead to a staggering 15-1.
