Franmil Reyes drove a solo home run into Reno's right field bullpen in the fourth inning. It was his 14th homer of the season, separating him from Double-A Harrisburg's Juan Soto for the Minor League Baseball lead in home runs.
The Chihuahuas loaded the bases with one out in the eighth inning but weren't able to score and tie the game. Auston Bousfield pinch ran for El Paso in the ninth inning on the day he arrived from Double-A San Antonio. El Paso's two hits tied the team record for fewest hits in a game.
