Sam Howard (no. 11 PuRP) threw six innings and allowed just one earned run for the Isotopes on Monday in a 9-8 victory. Howard bounced back after a poor outing last week against El Paso. This was Howard’s first appearance of six innings and one earned run or less since July 7th.
Jordan Patterson (no. 15 PuRP) provided the big blow on offense for Albuquerque, hitting a three-run homer - his second game in a row with a home run. Patterson has an .897 OPS and is a solid September call-up option for the Rockies.
For Asheville, Will Gaddis (no. 24 PuRP) struggled in four and two-thirds innings, allowing six earned runs. This was his second poor start in a row and his ERA is now over five.
