San Diego Padres Minor League Game Recaps

The surging Padres might have had the night off, but their MiLB affiliates went 1-3 with some impressive outings by future Friars.

Triple A

The El Paso Chihuahuas (55-62) were downed by the Reno Aces 4-3. Both teams struggled offensively, as they combined for just 11 total hits. Reno was already leading 3-1 in the 6th inning when they extended their lead to 4-1 on back-to-back errors by Taylor Lindsey and Rymer Liriano. The Chihuahuas rallied for two runs in the bottom of the 6th inning on a Jonathan Galvez RBI double and fielder’s choice that plated Cody Decker. The rally died when Taylor Lindsey popped out to the third baseman in foul territory, stranding the tying run on second and the go ahead run on first.

The offense was working for both teams as the game was tied 6-6 heading into the top of the 9th inning. The 66ers batted around the order easily as Lake Elsinore pitching unraveled after an error, allowing six runs including a grand slam.

The Fort Wayne Tincaps (50-62) managed to salvage Monday evening for the Friars organiztion by getting a win over the Lansing Lugnuts (don’t you love Minor League team names?).

Trea Turner led off the bottom of the 6th with a single and would come around to score the tying run on a Fernando Perez ground ball single up the middle. With nobody on in the bottom of the 7th inning, Nick Schulz smashed his second home run of the night, which turned out to be the go-ahead run and the game winner.
