The El Paso Chihuahuas had 19 hits in their 13-2 win over the Salt Lake Bees Thursday night at Smith's Ballpark. El Paso has won six consecutive games and is now 7-2 against Salt Lake this season.

Seth Mejias-Brean and Matthew Batten had four hits each for the Chihuahuas. Michael Gettys went 2-for-5 with his 29^th home run, one shy of Hunter Renfroe's single-season team record that was set in 2016. The Chihuahuas had 14 extra-base hits in the win. Austin Allen homered for El Paso, his sixth home run in seven games versus the Bees.
Salt Lake's Michael Hermosillo hit an inside-the-park home run in the bottom of the first, the ninth inside-the-park homer against the Chihuahuas in team history. Dillon Overton allowed two runs in five innings and gave the Chihuahuas a win from the starting pitcher for the fifth consecutive game.
