The lefty prospect struggled on the mound but Albuquerque still managed to rally to win its sixth in a row.
Once upon a time, otherwise known as June, the Albuquerque Isotopes would not have survived a start like the one Kyle Freeland had Saturday night.
These days, having a starter give up six runs is no big deal, not with the way the Isotopes are swinging the bats. Albuquerque blew a 5-0 lead, later went down 8-7 in the ninth and yet still beat Memphis 9-8.
"It’s contagious, they are playing well, they expect to play well," manager Glenallen Hill said.
