The El Paso Chihuahuas beat the Fresno Grizzlies 3-2 in a pitchers' duel Monday to begin the doubleheader. Dillon Overton threw six shutout innings for El Paso, while Fresno's Austin Voth didn't allow any hits until two outs in the sixth inning.

Peter Van Gansen's two-out, two-strike RBI single in the top of the seventh inning broke the 0-0 tie and gave the Chihuahuas the lead. The teams traded runs in the seventh and eighth innings before Jason Vosler's RBI single in the top of the ninth to put El Paso ahead to stay.

Both doubleheader games were scheduled for seven innings, so Monday's nine-inning Game 1 win was an extra-inning affair, moving El Paso's extra-inning record to 2-0 this year. Both of the Chihuahuas' extra-inning games this season took place in Fresno.
