What happened: A runner was aboard with two outs when Kyle Isbel homered in the sixth. The two-run swing expanded a 3-0 lead to five runs.
Why it matters: The added cushion eased the burden on the late innings. Isbel has homered twice since returning from a left-foot injury.
By the numbers: Isbel's two-run shot was his fifth home run of 2026.
What to watch: His next game will test whether the recent power carries forward.
