Albuquerque Isotopes suddenly fall apart against El Paso Chihuahuas

Eddie Butler pitches well and gets some run support before some uncharacteristic errors and poor relief pitching led to a tough loss.

The Albuquerque Isotopes reverted on Friday night.

It was not in the way that they wanted.

Albuquerque imploded in the late innings, in pretty much every aspect, and ended up losing 10-4 to the visiting El Paso Chihuahuas.

The Isotopes (64-68) made some uncharacteristic errors, saw the bullpen implode and the bats shut down from the seventh inning until the ninth.

"The game sped up on a couple of our guys and they didn’t handle it well," manager Glenallen Hill said.
