Jackson Wolf– 6 IP, 2 H, 2 BB, 3 K (78 pitches- 48 strikes)
The Chihuahuas blew an excellent outing by Jackson Wolf, as the bullpen simply imploded late in the game. It was a 3-1 El Paso lead into the top of the 7th, when the Space Cowboys erupted for eight runs in the inning. Jackson Wolf threw six innings, only allowing an earned run and gave way to the Chihuahuas bullpen. Tom Cosgrove continues to have issues as the lefty came on and failed to record an out. He was charged with four earned runs on three hits and a walk. Paul Fry came on and poured gasoline on the situation, allowing four earned runs himself while recording two outs in the inning.
Offensively, Bryce Johnson stole three bags and recorded two hits for El Paso. Veteran Kevin Plawecki earned two hits, and Matthew Batten drove in a pair for the Chihuahuas. Cal Mitchell and Tirso Ornelas went a combined 0-for-7 in the loss. Donovan Solano was recalled earlier in the day by the Padres and is no longer on the roster. Eguy Rosario figures to get plenty of playing time in the PCL now.
