The El Paso Chihuahuas and Salt Lake Bees combined to hit six home runs in Friday's 7-5 Salt Lake win at Southwest University Park. The Bees and Chihuahuas entered play with the top two team home run totals in the Pacific Coast League.

Travis Jankowski went 2-for-3 with a walk in the loss and has now reached base in 15 of his last 19 plate appearances. The Chihuahuas' 3-4-5 hitters all hit solo home runs (Brett Nicholas, Franmil Reyes and Raffy Lopez.) The homer by Reyes extended his hitting streak to 11 games. Diego Goris went 0-for-4, ending his eight-game hitting streak.
