Padres minor league affiliates went 0-4 on Wednesday. 

Here is our daily recap of games played. 

El Paso Chihuahuas (Lost 7-3 vs Salt Lake) (71-62 on the season)

Nate Mondou – 1-for-4, Triple, Run Scored

Marcos Castanon – 1-for-3, Single

Jackson Wolf – 3.2 IP, 6 H, 7 R, 3 BB, 1 K (65 pitches – 42 strikes)

El Paso starter Jackson Wolf allowed seven runs in 3.2 innings, only recording one strikeout against Salt Lake, as the Chihuahuas dropped the game 7-3. Wolf was not missing many bats, as he walked three batters and allowed six hits, three for extra bases. When counting this start, Wolf has allowed two or less runs in four of his last six starts; the other two (9/3 and 8/8) saw the southpaw surrender seven runs without making it out of the fourth. Jake Higginbotham threw 2.1 scoreless innings of relief, and the duo of Ron Marinaccio and Francis Pena combined for two shutout innings.

Marcos Castanon picked up his first career Triple-A hit with a single in the fifth inning. Castanon’s infield single scored a run when third baseman Denzer Guzman made a poor throw to first. Tim Locastro hit two singles, scoring one of the Chihuahuas’ three runs. Rodolfo Duran drove in a run on a groundout, and Clay Dungan had a hit and run scored. 

San Antonio Missions (Lost 7-1 vs Corpus Christi) (60-67 on the season)

Anthony Vilar – 1-for-4, Home Run

Jagger Haynes – 3 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 3 K (49 pitches – 24 strikes)

San Antonio’s lineup registered only one hit against the Hooks’ pitching staff in a 7-1 loss. Anthony Vilar’s sixth-inning homer accounted for the lone Missions hit, run, and RBI. Vilar also drew one of the Missions’ two walks, with Kai Murphy drawing the other. Jagger Haynes started for the Missions, and pitched well in his longest outing since July 26. Haynes struck out three in three hitless innings, walking two. The left-hander is trending towards full health, and looks to close out the season strong. Josh Mallitz made his Missions debut with a scoreless fourth. Jared Kollar threw the fifth through seventh innings, but was charged with seven runs (four earned) on eight hits. A trio of fielding errors did not help Kollar in his outing, with two errors in the seventh by Ryan Jackson and Romeo Sanabria proving to be costly. Fernando Sanchez pitched two scoreless innings for San Antonio, making his first Double-A outing since May 9.

Fort Wayne TinCaps (Lost 8-4 vs West Michigan) (55-72 on the season)

Jack Costello – 2-for-5, Home Run

Kasen Wells – 2-for-5, Two Singles, RBI

Clark Candiotti – 1.2 IP, 5 H, 6 R (4 ER), 2 BB, 3 K (58 pitches – 31 strikes)

Clark Candiotti pitched only 1.2 innings, as the Whitecaps jumped on the Fort Wayne starter for six runs (four earned). Candiotti recorded three of five outs via the strikeout, but a two-out first-inning rally got three on the board. Bodi Rascon threw 2.1 innings of one-run baseball in relief, and Eiker Huizi struck out three in two innings of one-run baseball. Luis German was the only TinCaps arm to throw scoreless baseball, pitching two shutout innings with two strikeouts.

— West Michigan Whitecaps (@wmwhitecaps) September 4, 2025

Jack Costello and Kasen Wells finished with multi-hit efforts, each driving in one run in the loss. Costello launched his tenth homer of the season to score one run in the second inning. Kai Roberts had himself an RBI with a fourth-inning sacrifice fly, scoring Lamar King Jr. Kasen Wells’ seventh-inning base hit scored Zach Evans, who walked twice in the loss. Lamar King Jr got the TinCaps to slam range with an RBI double in the ninth inning, but the rally came too little too late. 

Lake Elsinore Storm (Lost 13-4 vs Inland Empire) (56-72 on the season)

Alex McCoy – 2-for-4, Two-Run Home Run

Jorge Quintana – 1-for-4, Home Run

Kash Mayfield – 1.1 IP, 4 H, 3 R (2 ER), 0 BB, 2 K (42 pitches – 24 strikes)

Lake Elsinore had to use five pitchers in seven innings against the first-place 66ers, turning to a position player in the eighth in a blowout loss. Kash Mayfield started for the Storm, pitching a 1-2-3 first but laboring through one out in the second. Mayfield was pulled after allowing three runs with one out in the second, having reached the 30-pitch plateau in the inning. Will Koger made his professional debut with 1.1 innings pitched, allowing one earned run. Koger did record his first professional strikeout in his appearance. Cameron Nohos allowed one run in 1.2 innings of relief, and Clay Edmondson’s scoreless streak came to an end with 1.1 innings pitched and four earned runs allowed. Adam Conrad walked four in 1.1 innings, allowing only one run. Infielder Justin DeCriscio came on the pitch in the eighth, allowing two runs on four hits. 

Alex McCoy launched his sixth Storm homer in the loss, a two-run shot to left center field in the sixth inning. McCoy’s blast was the second of the night for the Storm. Jorge Quintana launched his first homer of the season in the fifth to put the Storm on the board. Truitt Madonna grounded out later in the frame to score Ryan Wideman. Wideman was 1-for-2 in the loss, albeit with two stolen bases. Carlos Rodriguez had the Storm’s lone double in the game, and the team went 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position in the loss.
