San Diego Padres Affiliates were 3-4 on Tuesday.

Here’s a recap of the day’s action:

El Paso Chihuahuas (65-49) Won 7-6

Jerry Keel had an okay start for El Paso, allowing six hits and three earned runs while walking none, striking out four hitters. The bullpen gave up another three runs, all given up by Kazuhisa Makita. Catcher Raffy Lopez played well, with two hits, a walk, a run scored, and an RBI. Allen Craig had two hits with two RBI and a walk, while Javier Guerra had two hits and scored two runs. The offense rallied for two runs in the ninth inning to win the game 7-6 after being down 6-5 to start the frame, so it was an exciting win for the Chihuahuas.

Ty France had two hits with a run scored and an RBI, Peter Van Gansen had two hits with two RBI, and Kyle Overstreet had two hits with an RBI as well.

Bryan Mitchell made the start as he rehabs from an injury, giving up four hits and three runs with three walks, striking out three. The rest of the staff pitched well, only allowing a single earned run in relief, but the damage was already done. Jorge Ona had two hits with a run scored, Nate Easley recorded two hits with an RBI, walk, and a run scored as well. Allen Córdoba had two hits with an RBI in the loss.

Tri-City Dust Devils (23-28)

The Dust Devils are in the midst of their all-star break and didn’t play on Tuesday. Their next game is on August 9th, with Sam Keating on the mound against the Hops in Gesa.

Pitcher Henry Henry, shortstop Owen Miller, and second baseman Olivier Basabe participated in the Northwest versus Pioneer League All-Star game, however.

AZL Padres 1 (18-22) Won Game 1,  6-2, Lost Game 2, 9-0

Game 1:

Dalton Erb made the start in the first game, throwing four innings while only giving up a single hit, one unearned run, three walks, and striking out three. The bullpen pitched the final five innings of the game without giving up a single earned run, and both runs allowed in the game were unearned. On offense, Lee Solomon was a key contributor, with two hits and an RBI. Catcher Michael Cantu added two doubles and an RBI, and Luis Guzman had two hits with a run scored as well. Jarryd Dale also had a hit, with a run scored and two RBI in the win.

Game 2:

The starter for the team, Jeferson Garcia, threw four innings and allowed eight runs, five of which were earned. He walked two and struck out three. The bullpen only gave up one run after Garcia left the game, but it was already too late. Nick Gatewood hit a double, while Rainie Aguilar and Jaquez Williams also had a hit each. Yet these were the only players on the team to record a hit, and Luis Guzman recorded the team’s lone walk during the game.

Nick Gatewood: 1-3

Rainie Aguilar: 1-3

Jaquez Williams: 1-2

Luis Guzman: 0-2, 1 BB

Jeferson Garcia: 4 IP, 7 H, 8 R, 5 ER, 2 BB, 3 K’s

AZL Padres 2 (20-18) Lost 6-4

It was a tale of unearned runs that pitchers gave up as a result of bad fielding in the loss on Tuesday for the AZL Padres 2 team. Starter Gabriel Morales only allowed two hits and struck out five hitters in 3.1 innings, and the bullpen pitched well, but the defense simply let the team down on Tuesday. The team only totaled five hits, so the offense didn’t perform well either. Jordy Barley and Yordi Francisco each had a hit in four at-bats, while Alison Quintero had two hits with an RBI and two runs scored. Jonny Homza had three hits and two RBI as the most significant offensive contributor.

Jordy Barley: 1-4

Yordi Francisco: 1-4

Alison Quintero: 2-4, 2 Runs, RBI

Jonny Homza: 3-4, 2 RBI

Gabriel Morales: 3.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 4 BB, 5 K’s

DSL Padres (30-26) Won 4-1

The team had strong pitching that kept the opponents off the board for the most part, only allowing one run in the victory. Eudi Asencio started the game and threw three innings, allowing one earned run despite the fact that he walked four batters, while striking out five. Then the bullpen threw six shutout innings, only walking one and striking out six batters in an impressive effort. They managed to put up four runs, despite only managing three hits in the contest. Junior Perez played a nice game, with a hit, RBI, run scored, and two walks. Matias Polanco also played well, recording a hit, RBI, and a walk. Shortstop Bryan Torres didn’t get any hits, but walked three times and scored a run.

Junior Perez: 1-2, RBI, 2 BB

Matias Polanco: 1-3, RBI, BB

Bryan Torres: 0-2, Run, 3 BB
