The El Paso Chihuahuas sent 13 batters to the plate in their seven-run second inning and beat the Oklahoma City Comets 8-5 Tuesday night at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. The seven runs matched El Paso's season high for runs in an inning. It was the first time the teams have met this season.

San Diego Padres pitcher Matt Waldron started and threw three perfect innings on MLB Injury Rehab and he's allowed only four runs in 27 Triple-A innings this season. Miguel Cienfuegos pitched a scoreless inning for El Paso and he hasn't allowed any runs in five of his last six outings. El Paso third baseman Marcos Castañon went 2-for-5 with two RBIs and he has five hits in his last two games.

The Chihuahuas stole a season-high eight bases, which was two steals shy of the single-game record set in Oklahoma City on August 1, 2024. El Paso has won four consecutive games, tying its season high for longest winning streak.
