Albuquerque 9, El Paso 1
The Isotopes highlighted the importance of defense and timely hitting in a game where, despite getting just one more hit than El Paso, they were able to score eight more runs. It helped that six of Albuquerque's eleven hits were for extra bases, and that they were also able capitalize on four Chihuahua's errors as well as four walks. Dustin Garneau went 2-3 with two walks. Garneau has had a, let's say, uneven year. Here is what Garneau's season has looked like so far: April .316/.409/.579, May .197/.260/.288, June .328/.421/.609. Yeah, I don't know what to make of it either.
