streak to 10 games. Eric Reed's game leading-off double extended Reed's streak to 8 games. . . .
The Pacific Coast League named their Rookie of the Year - Howie Kendrick of the Salt Lake Bees (AAA
Angels). Kendrick hit .369 with 13 homers and 62 RBI before his promotion to the Los Angeles Angels
of Anaheim on July 14th. . . .
Pitching probables for Wednesday's contest are LHP Adam Bostick (1-1, 3.00) for the Isotopes
and RHP Ben Hendrickson (9-7, 2.85) for the Sounds.

| THIS DAY IN ISOTOPES HISTORY: The Isotopes had
a better day in 2005 against the Express at Dell Diamond. Travis Smith struck out 10 batters in 6
innings, while allowing 2 runs (1 earned) and 3 hits in Albuquerque's 4-3 victory over Round Rock. |
| 'TOPES NOTES:
In Isotopes transactions, P Franklyn German was activated from the disabled list and then released.
OF Mark Little and IF Jason Stokes were both activated off the disabled list and P Chris George was
placed on the Temporary Inactive List. . . .
Now that the Isotopes are eliminated from playoff contention (14 games back with 12 games
left to play), the Isotopes can set a team goal to finish in second place in the division or individual players
can aim for getting a September callup. The Isotopes are three games out of being tied for second place
in the division. . . . Albuquerque had its earliest playoff elimination in the four year history of the franchise and it
was the second August playoff elimination. . . .
In Jason Stokes' return to the 'Topes lineup, Stokes singled once in four at-bats and struck out once. . . .
The Isotopes are 0-4 in games played in Round Rock so far in 2006. . . .
Matt Cepicky went hitless in two at-bats to snap a 6-game hitting streak. . . .
Isotopes pitching has allowed two homers in an inning 8 times this season. . . .
Jason Vargas has lost his last four pitching decisions. . . .
Pitching probables for Thursday's game are LHP Chris George (3-6, 5.95) for the Isotopes and LHP
Philip Barzilla (7-4, 4.10) for the Express.

Nashville Sounds (AAA Brewers).
