Chihuahuas offense goes cold as Fresno snaps El Paso win streak

The Chihuahuas eight-game win streak came to an end Thursday night, as the Fresno Grizzlies defeated the Chihuahuas 12-2 in front of 7,847 fans in attendance at Southwest University Park.

The Chihuahuas (42-38) were on the verge of breaking club history, but fell just short of that when the Grizzlies (47-32), avoided the sweep by exploding to a three runs lead in the top of the first inning.

The Grizzlies were led by First baseman Taylor Jones, who had just gotten the call up to Triple-A. He hit the game’s first home run in the first inning.
