The El Paso Chihuahuas held Tacoma to only three hits Friday and beat the Rainiers 4-1. The teams have split the first four games of the six-game series.
El Paso starter Ryan Weathers pitched six innings and didn’t allow any earned runs. He was followed by San Diego Padres pitcher Robert Suarez, who struck out one in a scoreless seventh inning on MLB injury rehab. San Diego’s Wil Myers played first base and went 2-for-4 with two singles for El Paso on MLB injury rehab.
Chihuahuas shortstop Eguy Rosario went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an RBI single in the win. El Paso’s three hits allowed were one shy of the season low for a single game. Weathers picked off two runners Friday and the Chihuahuas now have 25 pickoffs to lead all of Minor League Baseball.
