Fresno, California - The El Paso Chihuahuas (18-7) took a bite out of the Fresno Tacos (11-14) 7-5 Tuesday night. El Paso lengthened their winning streak to 11 games (a franchise record) while Fresno dropped their sixth in a row. Collin Cowgill and Yadiel Hernandez powered the Taco offense. Cowgill pummeled two solo shots, one in the first and the other in the ninth. Yadiel Hernandez also homered in the first, his seventh of the year. He extended the current team-high hit streak to seven games and added his third big fly in the last two evenings. Jose Marmolejos notched two hits while Andrew Stevenson and Henderson Alvarez recorded RBI.
Jason Vosler provided the Chihuahuas with some pop of his own. Vosler whacked two longballs, giving him five on the season. Michael Gettys also went deep in the contest. His clout highlighted a three-run fifth. The 4-5-6 part of the El Paso lineup all plated one run as well. Carlos Torres (1-1) earned the win after two innings of relief while Fernando Rodriguez secured his third save.
Henderson Alvarez (0-2) suffered the decision despite hurling six innings. He punched out five, a season-high. Jordan Mills and Tanner Rainey fanned four over two innings of bullpen action after Alvarez. Rainey struck out the side, all swinging.
