El Paso Chihuahuas News Release
The Oklahoma City Dodgers beat the El Paso Chihuahuas 2-1 Saturday in the fifth game of a six-game series. The Chihuahuas were held to three hits, which tied the team's season low for hits in a game.
The Chihuahuas' run came when Brandon Dixon hit a home run off the left field foul pole in the top of the sixth inning. It was his ninth Triple-A home run of the season and second homer of the series. El Paso reliever Jake Sanchez pitched three scoreless innings without walking a batter, while striking out two.
Oklahoma City manager Travis Barbary was ejected for arguing a double play call in the bottom of the third inning. It was the second time Barbary was thrown out of a game against El Paso this year. Saturday ended the Chihuahuas' three-game winning streak.
