TACOMA, WA (June 13, 2026) — The Tacoma Rainiers (30-39) won the series finale over the Albuquerque Isotopes (35-34) with a 3-2 victory on Sunday, taking five of the six games in the series. Victor Labrada drove in all three of Tacoma's runs, finishing 3-for-4 with a double and three RBI. Gabe Mosser tallied his sixth quality start, slinging 6.0 innings of two-run baseball while tying his season-high in strikeouts with seven in the win.
Tacoma struck first in the bottom of the first inning. Cal Raleigh, in the fourth game of his Major League rehab assignment with Tacoma, split the right side with a single to open the frame. Connor Joe followed with a two-out single to center field. Both Raleigh and Joe advanced to second and third base on a wild pitch. Shortly after, Labrada lined a bases-clearing single to center field that scored Raleigh and Joe, giving Tacoma a 2-0 lead.
Albuquerque quickly responded in the top of the second inning. Vimael Machín drew a leadoff walk, and Jose Cordova lined a two-out single to right field. The Isotopes tallied their first run of the ballgame when Mike Antico lined a single to right field that scored Machín, cutting Tacoma's lead to 2-1.
The Isotopes tied the game in the top of the third inning. Richie Martin Jr. (5) lined a solo home run to the left field deck, evening the score at two.
Tacoma regained the lead in the bottom of the third inning. Raleigh and Joe drew a pair of walks and Labrada drove in his third run of the game as he roped a double down the right field line that scored Raleigh, giving Tacoma a 3-2 lead.
Gabe Mosser retired the final twelve consecutive Isotopes he faced as logged his sixth quality start of the season, tied for the second-most in the minor leagues. Nick Garcia took over for relief, striking out a pair in the top of the seventh.
The Isotopes threatened in the top of the eighth inning, but Josh Simpson kept them off the board. Richie Martin Jr. drew a leadoff walk, and Condon singled on a ground ball to left field. Albuquerque loaded the bases as Nic Kent recorded an infield single, but Simpson escaped the jam as Kyle McCann rolled over to second base, maintaining Tacoma’s one-run lead.
Houston Roth sat down the Isotopes in order in the top of the ninth inning as Tacoma took the 3-2 victory. The Rainiers will head on the road next week to take on Salt Lake, with the first game of the series on Tuesday. First pitch is scheduled for 5:35 p.m (PT).
