The Oklahoma City Dodgers scored five runs in a nine-batter eighth inning and beat the El Paso Chihuahuas 12-5 Saturday night.
Patrick Kivlehan went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run in the bottom of the first inning. It was the third consecutive game that Kivlehan homered, which is two games shy of the Chihuahuas' team record (Austin Hedges in 2016). Catcher Luis Campusano had three hits as well for El Paso.
