San Diego Padres affiliates were 2-2 on Tuesday.
Here is a recap of the day’s events.
El Paso Chihuahuas (Lost 8-1) (8-9 on the season)
Tucupita Marcano– 0-2, 2 BB
Nick Tanielu– 1-3, 1 RBI, 1 BB
Brett Kennedy– 4 IP, 6 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 5 K
Jordan Guerrero– 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 3 K
The El Paso Chihuahuas dropped an ugly one, 8-1, to the Sugar Land Skeeters. They were only able to notch four hits while the Skeeters got 13. Not much went right for El Paso pitching-wise either, as Jordan Guerrero was the only Chihuahua not to allow a run.
San Antonio Missions (Won 7-5) (8-11 on the season)
C.J. Abrams- Did not play
Eguy Rosario– 2-4, 1 RBI, 1 R
Osvaldo Hernandez– 4 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 3 K
Henry Henry– 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K
The Missions held off a late rally from the Northwest Arkansas Naturals to move closer to .500 on the season. Osvaldo Hernandez got the ball for San Antonio and gave four innings of quality work. In the third inning, Esteury Ruiz bunted for a base hit to take a 1-0 lead, and the Missions never looked back. Aaron Leasher, who boasts a 1.69 ERA, will pitch Wednesday.

The TinCaps got off to a great start with six runs in the first inning, but things got ugly late as they lost their big lead, and a fight broke out between them and the South Bend Batters. Four TinCaps tallied multiple hits in the losing effort, with Ethan Skender being the lone one to hit safely three times. Cody Tyler surrendered six runs in the sixth inning. Then Carter Loewen allowed five in the eighth.

Lake Elsinore Storm (Won 8-7) (10-9)
Robert Hassell III- Did not play
Joshua Mears– 1-4, 1 R, 1 BB, 3 K
Dwayne Matos– 4.2 IP, 5 H, 3 ER, 3 K, 1 BB
Jose Garcia– 2 IP, 2 K, 1 H
Lake Elsinore used four runs in the ninth inning to shock the San Jose Giants 8-7. Euribiel Angeles singled in the tying and go-ahead run with two outs in the ninth. The Storm had been dwindling, so this was a nice win for them to pick up.
The comeback kids get it done yet again!
