Oklahoma City Dodgers vs Albuquerque Isotopes

The game stayed scoreless through the first two innings before Ward broke it open in the third. The outfielder crushed a two-run home run, his fourth long ball during a nine-game hitting streak that has seen him go 15-for-37 with 12 RBI.

Oklahoma City (26-18 second half, 67-51 overall) added a run in the sixth when Ryan Fitzgerald singled home Hyeseong Kim. Kim initially hesitated at third but scored after Albuquerque's throw from right field went to second base. Fitzgerald struck again with an RBI single in the seventh, and Ward drove in the final run in the eighth by grounding into a double play.

Albuquerque (22-23, 61-59) managed six hits but finished without an extra-base hit for the third straight game. The Isotopes did not advance a runner past second base after the fifth inning.

Ferris's third-inning escape after the Dodgers took the lead set the tone. The left-hander gave up a leadoff single to open the frame but responded with a strikeout and a flyout before catching a runner trying to steal second to end the inning. He did not allow another baserunner past first base over his final two innings of work.

Jackson Ferris (W, 2-5): The 22-year-old lefty fired 5.0 scoreless frames, allowing four hits and one walk while fanning a season-high nine. His strikeout total was the highest by an Oklahoma City pitcher since Landon Knack fanned 11 on Aug. 2, 2025. Ferris recorded his highest strikeout output since an 11-strikeout performance with High-A Great Lakes on July 6, 2024.

Ryan Ward: Went 1-for-3 with a homer, two RBI and two walks. He has 26 RBI in his last 17 games and extended his season-best hitting streak to nine games.

Bobby Miller: The Dodgers' right-hander, on MLB rehab assignment from Los Angeles, tossed 3.0 scoreless innings of relief with two hits, one walk and three strikeouts on 44 pitches (26 strikes). Over three rehab appearances with Oklahoma City, Miller has thrown 7.0 innings with four earned runs and seven strikeouts.

Ryan Fitzgerald: Delivered two RBI singles — in the sixth and seventh innings — driving in the insurance runs that broke the game open.

Zach Ehrhard: Reached base four times on four walks, scored a run and stole a base. He has reached base in 23 of his last 24 games.

The 10-6 gap in hits undersells Oklahoma City's dominance: the Dodgers outscored Albuquerque 5-0 with runs in four separate innings, while the Isotopes never generated a single extra-base hit for the third consecutive contest. Oklahoma City pitchers struck out 13, the fourth time in five games they have reached double-digit strikeouts (61 total across that stretch). The 20-inning scoreless streak — spanning from the eighth inning Friday through Sunday's final out — marks the Dodgers' first consecutive shutouts since 2018 and their first back-to-back home shutouts since 2017.

The Dodgers improved to a season-best 16 games above .500 and have won 14 of their last 17 overall, including 13 of 16 at home. They clinched their third straight series win — the first time since May they have won at least three in a row. Albuquerque dropped to 22-23 in the second half and has lost consecutive shutouts for the first time in the series.

Oklahoma City travels to Sugar Land for a six-game road series against the Space Cowboys, starting Tuesday at 7:05 p.m. CT at Constellation Field. The Isotopes return home to face the Round Rock Express.

A complete performance from Oklahoma City's pitching staff and timely hitting from Ward and Fitzgerald delivered the Dodgers' second consecutive shutout. Ferris's season-best strikeout night confirmed him as a legitimate arm to track in the Dodgers' system, while Miller's clean rehab outing inches him closer to a return to the majors. The Isotopes, by contrast, have now gone 27 straight innings without an extra-base hit — a trend that must reverse quickly to stay competitive in the PCL second-half race.
