A crowd of 8,303 people saw Cy Sneed and the Fresno Grizzlies (29-20) shutout the El Paso Chihuahuas (24-25) 5-0 Friday night from Chukchansi Park. Sneed (5-2) earned the win after twirling eight scoreless innings on 104 pitches. He faced two over the minimum, fanning seven. It was the fourth start where Sneed didn't allow a run and his first without walking a batter.
Fresno bombarded the scoreboard with three runs in the bottom of the first. Garrett Stubbs led off the inning with a longball to right. It was his first homer of the season. Then, AJ Reed destroyed a pitch to right-center. The two-run shot was his team-leading ninth blast of the season. It was also Reed's 58th career home run in a Fresno uniform, tying him for fifth in franchise history.
Stubbs produced a 4-0 lead with a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the second.
Drew Ferguson (2-for-3) added to the advantage in the bottom of the sixth when he doubled down the left field line, plating Jon Kemmer.
Up 5-0, Reymin Guduan sealed the victory with a perfect ninth, lowering his WHIP to 1.14 and batting average versus him to .136.
Cody Bohanek completed his first Triple-A multi-hit night for the Grizzlies. Tyler White's on-base streak ended at 56 games (since 2017) in the win.  
Chihuahuas' starter Walker Lockett (2-5) suffered the loss after seven innings of work. He scattered seven hits, five runs (earned), walking three and punching out three.
