San Diego Padres rehabbing outfielder Hunter Renfroe went 3-for-4 with two home runs and three RBIs Wednesday but the El Paso Chihuahuas lost to the Tacoma Rainiers 5-4. El Paso trailed by two entering the ninth, scored a run and brought the tying run to third, but a deep fly ball to right field by Brett Nicholas was caught on the warning track to end the game.
