'TOPES NOTES:
After one season of the league being called Triple-A West, the Pacific Coast League name is back. . . . The Automated Balls-Strikes system was not used in the game. Home Plate umpires will be calling balls and strikes until mid-May. No reason has been reported for the delay in the implementation of the ABS system in the PCL. . . . The Isotopes roster features two former University of New Mexico Lobos -- Jordan Pacheco is the hitting coach and D.J. Peterson is an infielder who has not played in affiliated ball since 2019 when he played for the Charlotte Knights, the White Sox triple-A affiliate. . . . The Isotopes gave up a walkoff homer for the first time since Jeremy Pena accomplished the feat in Sugar Land on September 21, 2021.. . . Isotopes starter Ryan Feltner tossed five scoreless innings. .. . Despite the Isotopes marketing of this being their 20th anniversary season, this season is the 19th in terms of games played. The Isotopes are 11-8 in season openers, including 5-5 in season openers on the road. . . . Albuquerque has lost 7 of their last 10 season opening games. . . . Probables in game two of the series Wednesday evening are RHP Frank Duncan for the Isotopes and LHP Robbie Erlin for the Dodgers.
