Raimel Tapia takes flight in his debut with Isotopes

Center fielder singles in each of his first three Triple-A at-bats to back up Butler's excellent start

At the rate things are going, the Albuquerque Isotopes are going to be hoping another Hartford Yard Goats outfielder arrives every week.

Raimel Tapia went 4-for-7 in his Triple-A debut Tuesday night as the Isotopes swept the Las Vegas 51s 7-0 and 4-3 in a doubleheader.

"I feel awesome and it felt like home right away," Tapia said, with teammate Simon Castro acting as his translator, in what was technically the first home game Tapia played all year after being on the Yard Goats’ endless road trip.
