Salt Lake Bees News Release


The El Paso Chihuahuas avoided the series sweep, as they downed the Salt Lake Bees 5-2 on Sunday night.

El Paso scored all five of their runs in the second inning off of Bees starter Parker Bridwell . Bridwell (2-2) allowed five runs on four hits, including an RBI single by former Bee Rafael Ortega, in the second in his first start for Salt Lake after picking up a win on Wednesday for the Angels in his first major league start. Bridwell would last just one and two-third innings and allow five runs on five hits with a season high four walks and two strikeouts.

The Salt Lake bullpen kept it close, as Manny Banuelos (3.1 IP) and Eduardo Paredes (3 IP) combined for six and one-third scoreless innings, but the Bees bats couldn't come up with the big hit. Salt Lake's two runs came on solo homers by Kaleb Cowart and Jefry Marte . The Bees had several other opportunities to score, but left twelve runners on base, eight of them in scoring position. Six of those eight reached scoring position with less than two outs. The Bees now come home for their longest homestand of the season with eleven games in the next twelve days.
