RHP Tyler Ivey stranded two runners in the top of the first by inducing an inning-ending groundout before facing the minimum in the second, helped by a 6-4-3 double play. Ivey then left a runner in scoring position the third.

Albuquerque scored two runs in the fourth, including Michael Toglia hitting a solo home run as the Isotopes went up, 2-0. The Space Cowboys answered in the bottom of the frame as Trammell ripped an opposite-field solo home run 368 feet to left as Sugar Land cut their deficit in half, 2-1. Later in the inning, Shay Whitcomb singled, Zach Cole flared a base knock to left and Logan Davidson walked with two outs to load the bases, but a flyout stranded the runners.

After Ivey tossed a scoreless fifth, RHP Michael Knorr (W, 2-1) entered in the sixth and fired a perfect frame, striking out two. In the bottom of the inning, Trammell ambushed the first pitch of his at-bat and drove a lead-off solo homer 395 feet to right. In the ensuing at-bat, Whitcomb scorched his second homer in as many nights as the Space Cowboys took their first lead of the night, 3-2. Trammell recorded the ninth multi-homer game from a Space Cowboy this season and the first since Jon Singleton on July 12. Friday was also the eighth time this year Sugar Land has gone back-to-back and the first time since Edwin Díaz and Brice Matthews on August 17.

RHP Alimber Santa (H,3) preserved Sugar Land’s one-run lead by posting a zero in the seventh and RHP Luis Contreras (H,9) worked out of a two-on one-out jam to hold the Space Cowboys’ 3-2 advantage.
