The Albuquerque Isotopes set a new team record for runs in a game in their 26-8 win over the El Paso Chihuahuas Friday night at Rio Grande Credit Union Field. It also set the Chihuahuas' team record for most runs allowed in a game. It was the third time since 2005 that a Pacific Coast League team scored 26 or more runs in a game.
San Diego Padres infielder Will Wagner went 1-for-2 with a single and a walk in his first MLB Injury Rehab game with El Paso. El Paso third baseman Pablo Reyes went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBIs and has reached base in all 21 games he's played this season. Albuquerque's Sterlin Thompson and Vimael Machín both reached on a hit or a walk six or more times Friday. Machín leads the PCL in batting average (.375) and on-base percentage (.500).
El Paso's pitching staff walked 13 batters to set a new season high. Nate Mondou came in to pitch the bottom of the eighth and allowed four runs in his fifth career relief appearance. Mondou became the first Chihuahuas position player to pitch since Cody Roberts on September 10, 2025, also against Albuquerque. Albuquerque's win ended El Paso's four-game winning streak. Three of the first four games in the series have been decided by 10 runs or more.
