Credit: Chihuahuas
Only one of the San Diego Padres’ affiliates played Monday in a slow day in Minor League Baseball.
The El Paso Chihuahuas split a double-header with the Round Rock Express, while the San Antonio Missions, Fort Wayne TinCaps, and the Lake Elsinore Storm all had the day off.
El Paso Chihuahuas (21-25)
Game 1 (Lost 9-4)
Tucupita Marcano– 0-3, 2 BB, 1 R
Luis Campusano– 1-4, 2 K, 1 RBI
Jesse Scholtens– 4 IP, 5 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, 3 K
Pedro Avila– 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 2 K
The El Paso Chihuahuas lost the first game of their doubleheader Monday. This first game was the completion of Sunday’s suspended game. El Paso took the lead in the fifth inning after Patrick Kivlehan hit in the tying run and Luis Campusano doubled home the go-ahead run. The lead was short-lived as the Round Rock Express scored three runs in the seventh and ninth innings to put away the Chihuahuas. Jose Quezada took the loss after surrendering the runs in the seventh.

El Paso used a five-run fourth inning to defeat the Express in game two, which only lasted seven innings. Caleb Boushley pitched all seven innings for the Chihuahuas in the 6-3 victory. A double and then four straight El Paso walks with no outs in the fourth inning got the rally started. Pedro Florimon cashed in two runs with a two-run single to cap it off.
