Chihuahuas Routed By Rainiers; Jase Bowen Homers Twice

Jase Bowen hit a pair of solo homers, but the Triple-A El Paso Chihuahuas couldn't muster any other offense in a 17-2 loss to the Tacoma Rainiers. Bowen, who homered Thursday to give him three in two games, also had a leadoff single in the bottom of the first inning to account for three of the Chihuahuas' nine hits.

El Paso right-handed starter Sean Boyle was tagged for six runs on seven hits and two walks in 3⅓ innings. It didn't get much better after that as left-hander Miguel Ciengfuegos (three runs in 2⅔ innings) and right-hander Misael Tamarez (two runs in 1⅓ innings) couldn't keep it semi-close before Justin Yeager opened the floodgates by surrendering six runs on seven hits and two walks in 1⅓ innings).

Carlos Rodriguez had two hits for El Paso.

Missions Launch 18-Hit Attack To Dispatch RockHounds

Francisco Acuna and Kai Roberts each drove in a pair of runs early as the Double-A San Antonio Missions jumped out to a 5-0 lead and pulled out an 8-4 victory over the Midland RockHounds.

Ethan Salas, Padres Mission's No. 1 prospect, went 3-for-6 with a pair of runs scored and an RBI and Tirso Ornelas also had three hits as the Missions pounded out a season-best 18 hits. Five other players, including Acuna and Roberts, had a pair of hits for the Missions.

Acuna had a two-run double just inside the left-field line in the second and Roberts a two-run single in the third. Braedon Karpathios also had an RBI single in the third as the Missions went up 5-0. But the RockHounds scored one in the fourth and three in the fifth to pull within 5-4.

But the Missions got two of those runs back in the bottom of the fifth. Acuna had a leadoff single and Salas a one-out RBI double. After two walks sandwiched a forceout at second, Ryan Jackson hit a grounder that was knocked down in shallow center by the shortstop for a run-scoring single and a 7-4 advantage. In the seventh, Salas had a leadoff single and went to third on Leandro Cedeno's one-out hit before scoring on Ornelas' single to right. Cedeno extended his on-base streak to 20 games.

Missions right-handed starter Ian Koenig allowed four runs (three earned) on five hits with no walks and five strikeouts in a season-high six innings. Right-hander Andrew Moore struck out five in two hitless innings with a walk, while right-hander Michael Flynn pitched a perfect ninth.

Kash Mayfield's Goes 5 Shutout, Zach Evans Steals Home For TinCaps

The Kash Mayfield shutout streak is back on. The left-handed starter allowed just one hit in five shutout innings and Zach Evans stole home for the game's only run as the High-A Fort Wayne TinCaps edged the Beloit SkyCarp 1-0. Four Fort Wayne pitchers combined on a three-hitter.

Mayfield, Padres Mission's No. 2 prospect, began the season with a 15-inning scoreless streak, then gave up five runs over three innings bridging two games. His outing Friday, which included retiring the first 10 batters of the game, gives him a new streak of seven straight innings without allowing a run. Mayfield walked one and struck out three. The only hit he allowed was a one-out double in the fourth inning. Mayfield now has 1.82 ERA.

The only run of the game came in the bottom of the fifth inning. Evans had a leadoff single and went to third on Jonathan Vastine's double to right. After a groundout and a popout, Evans stole home, leading to the ejection of Beloit's manager. Evans had two hits and is 5-for-13, including his first homer of the year, in the first four games of the series.

Right-hander Clark Candiotti struck out four in two hitless innings, left-hander C.J. Widger pitched a hitless eighth and right-hander Tucker Musgrove allowed two hits but struck out two to finish with his first career save.

Lamar King Jr., Padres Mission's No. 13 prospect, walked and doubled, extending his on-base streak to 21 consecutive games, matching the longest of the season for the TinCaps by Alex McCoy. Kavares Tears went 2-for-3.

Ryan Wideman Has 3 RBIs As Storm Topple 66ers

Ryan Wideman had three hits and drove in three runs, including a go-ahead double in the fifth inning, as the Low-A Lake Elsinore Storm beat the Inland Empire 66ers 4-1. Leadoff hitter Bradley Frye also had three of the Storm's 10 hits and drove in the other run.

Storm left-handed starter Kruz Schoolcraft, Padres Mission's No. 3 prospect, allowed one unearned run on three hits and two walks while striking out a pair in four innings.

Right-hander Rordy Mejia followed Schoolcraft with two shutout innings, right-hander Vicarte Domingo struck out five in two innings and right-hander Will Koger struck out a pair in the ninth for his second professional save.

Frye's single in the top of the third drove in the first run of the game after Qrey Lott singled and was bunted to second. Inland Empire tied it in the bottom of the third. In the fifth, there were two outs when Frye singled and went to third on Justin DeCriscio's 13th double of the season. Wideman then doubled to left-center to snap the tie for a 3-1 lead.

Wideman made it a three-RBI night in the seventh. Lott had a leadoff single and stole second with one out. Frye's single moved Lott to third and Wideman hit a slow chopper to third that he used his speed to beat out without a play, scoring Lott.
