The minor league affiliates for the San Diego Padres went 2-2 on Tuesday.
Here is a recap of the day’s events.
El Paso Chihuahuas (78-56) Won 7-6
El Paso tied the game and eventually took the lead and held on to it after the Bees made a comeback in the ninth inning. Aderlin Rodriguez and Peter Van Gansen both hit home runs as part of two-hit games. Taylor Kohlwey had a run-scoring double while Matthew Batten hit an RBI single. Emmanuel Ramirez allowed five runs on nine hits in 5.2 innings but got a no-decision for his work.

Amarillo Sod Poodles (69-63) Lost 8-4
MacKenzie Gore made a surprise start for the Sod Poodles and went 1.2 innings, striking out five in the process. The top prospect was more than impressive, as he comfortably sat in the 94-96 MPH range with his fastball, even topping out at 97 MPH. The bullpen was not as solid, as the Drillers offense sprang to life as soon as Gore left the game. Kyle Overstreet and Tyler Benson both went 3-for-4 with an RBI each.
