Josh Naylor went 2-for-5 with an RBI in his first game since being optioned by San Diego. Jerry Keel hit an RBI single in the sixth inning, the second Chihuahuas' pitcher to record an RBI hit in the last four games, as Dillon Overton did the same Thursday in Reno.
Sunday was the final meeting of the season between the two teams, with Albuquerque winning nine of the 16 matchups. The Chihuahuas do not play on Monday.
