Fresno Grizzlies News Release


El Paso, Texas - The Fresno Grizzlies (43-41) saw their three-game win streak end on Monday, losing 11-1 to the El Paso Chihuahuas (51-32) at Southwest University Park. Fresno had taken the first two of the five-game series over the weekend.

El Paso opened the scoring with four runs in the third, split between a Jose Pirela triple and an Aderlin Rodriguez homer. A pair of El Paso solo homers an inning later (Jason Vosler, Matthew Batten) quickly made it 6-0 Chihuahuas. Rodriguez's second longball of the evening came in the fifth, for a 7-0 score.

Yadiel Hernandez (three hits) and pitcher Ben Braymer enjoyed the only multi-hit efforts for the Grizzlies. Hernandez reached base four times with a walk; his double followed by Brandon Snyder's RBI double broke up the shutout in the eighth.

LHP Dietrich Enns befuddled Fresno with a line of six hits over six and two-thirds shutout innings; he walked four but struck out eight while earning his eighth winning decision of the year. El Paso would tack on four runs in the eighth to finish the night's scoring; a two-run double by Webster Rivas, a Boog Powell RBI single and a Pirela RBI single completed a five-hit frame.
