The Oklahoma City Dodgers beat the El Paso Chihuahuas 13-4 Sunday in the finale of a six-game series. The game was called after a 44-minute delay at the beginning of the ninth inning due to heavy rain.
Oklahoma City hit six home runs to tie their season high. El Paso’s Ryan Weathers allowed one run in one inning in his first relief appearance of the season after making a team-leading 22 starts. Chihuahuas second baseman Connor Hollis went 2-for-4 with two singles and now has a five-game hitting streak, with three multi-hit games in that span.
