The Chihuahuas trailed 2-0 early before scoring four runs on five hits and an Oklahoma City error in the fourth inning. The rally included an RBI hit from Cody Decker and a tiebreaking two-run double by Jake Goebbert. Casey Kelly pitched six innings and left with the lead, picking up his first Triple-A win of the season.
