Intense Schedule: Playing 13 home games in 13 consecutive days might seem overwhelming, but it falls short of the Isotopes' record.
The Albuquerque Isotopes are gearing up for a 13-game home stretch, starting from Tuesday night until August 10th. This run will see the team face off against Sacramento and Round Rock.
During this period, the Isotopes will be offering a variety of promotions to engage fans. On Tuesday, fans can enjoy Dollar Hot Dog Night and participate in a JustServe food drive, with non-perishable food items benefiting The Lobo Food Pantry. On Saturday, Dukes Retro Night is scheduled, along with the Albuquerque Professional Baseball Hall of Fame pregame induction ceremony and postgame fireworks.
As the Isotopes prepare for this home stretch, it's worth looking back at some of their past achievements. In the first half of the season, the Las Vegas Aviators clinched the PCL race with a 49-26 record and a plus-176 run differential. In contrast, the Isotopes have had a challenging second half, with a 11-16 record, a minus-20 run differential, and a 1-9 record in their last 10 games.
In 2014, the Isotopes played 14 consecutive home games in 13 days, which is one game more than the current series. The final game of this series was a 13-3 win over the Iowa Cubs. John Lindsey, who was voted the Isotopes Fan Favorite that season, hit his 25th and final home run in this game. A.J. Ellis, who is being inducted into the Albuquerque Professional Baseball Hall of Fame, had 2 RBIs in the same match.
The Isotopes' third baseman, Aaron Schunk, is currently on a 10-game hitting streak and has a hit in 17 of the past 18 games he's played. Nine Isotopes players have had hitting streaks reach double figure games this season.
The Isotopes have also made a mark in their approach at the plate. They have played fewer home games (44) than any other Pacific Coast League team this season. Despite this, they have the most triples against left-handed pitchers (14) in professional baseball. Only four other professional teams have reached double digits triples hit against lefties.

In the upcoming 13-game home stretch, the Isotopes will offer promotions such as Dollar Hot Dog Night and a food drive on Tuesday, while Dukes Retro Night and the Albuquerque Professional Baseball Hall of Fame pregame induction ceremony are scheduled for Saturday.
Meanwhile, the Isotopes third baseman, Aaron Schunk, has a current 10-game hitting streak and has a hit in 17 of the past 18 games he's played.
