Sacramento’s Andrew Suarez pitched six shutout innings in the River Cats’ 11-3 win over the El Paso Chihuahuas Wednesday night at Southwest University Park.

San Diego Padres righty Trevor Cahill allowed two runs on four hits in a three-inning injury rehab start.

Cahill was the third Padres pitcher to start a Chihuahuas game in the last week, joining Jered Weaver and Christian Friedrich, who both threw in Albuquerque on El Paso’s last road trip.

The Chihuahuas were held without a run until the eighth when Ryan Schimpf hit an RBI double. El Paso added two tallies in the ninth on RBI extra base hits by Rocky Gale and Jose Rondon.

Gale, usually a catcher, took the mound with two outs in the ninth and got a fly ball out, finalizing his second scoreless pitching appearance of the season.

Diego Goris had three hits in the loss for the Chihuahuas. The Chihuahuas have dropped five of their last seven games.

Next Game: Thursday, 7:05 pm at Southwest University Park. Sacramento LHP Michael Roth (4-1, 4.11) vs. El Paso RHP Tyrell Jenkins (4-8, 7.43). The game will air on 600 ESPN El Paso and www.epchihuahuas.com

Bryan Rodriguez pitched five innings for El Paso and allowed only one earned run.

To celebrate its rich baseball history, the Chihuahuas are bringing the Diablos name back to El Paso where it belongs for Diablos Days Wednesdays at Southwest University Park

Fans will get the first crack at purchasing tickets for Diablos Days when individual game tickets go on sale on Saturday, March 4^th at 10 a.m.

On Wednesdays in 2017 (excluding June 14^th, the U.S. Army’s Birthday presented by GECU), the Chihuahuas will travel back to 1987 and wear retro El Paso Diablos uniforms. These throwbacks feature red pinstripes with yellow accents, red socks and red cap with that classic Diablos text.

“We are extremely proud and excited to bring this iconic name and look back under the control of Minor League Baseball and more importantly, El Paso, its true home,” said Chihuahuas Vice President and General Manager Brad Taylor.

Diablos Days features uniforms from the 1987 season in honor of the 30^th anniversary and the success of the late-80s’ teams.

In 1986, the Diablos won the Texas League Pennant and in 1988, had a young prospect named Gary Sheffield. Sheffield went on to become a nine-time Major League Baseball All-Star, slugging 509 homeruns during his 22-season career.

On top of wearing Diablos uniforms, the Chihuahuas will resurrect some of the sights and sounds of the Dudley Dome.

Fans are encouraged to bring their handkerchiefs to wave “Bye Bye Baby” as the visiting pitcher gets taken out of the game, get their voices ready to shout “We Want A HIT!” and more.

A complete new videoboard look with Diablos themes will complete the transformation of Diablos Days.

In honor of the U.S. Army’s 242^nd Birthday Celebration presented by GECU on Wednesday, June 14^th, the team will wear its Chihuahuas camo jerseys to pay tribute to our troops in place of Diablos uniforms.

Wednesdays will continue to feature Seniors Eat Free presented by CBS 4, 92.3 The Fox, Jose, Tricolor and El Paso Inc. where Chihuahuas guests ages 60 years and older will receive a free Jumbo Hotdog Meal.

Also new to the Days of the Week lineup are Salute to Service Thursdays and Flat Screen Fridays.

On Thursdays starting on April 20^th, the Chihuahuas will thank all military and first responders, past and present, for their commitment to the community. To receive the special rate of $10 ticket in Zone E and enjoy the Thrifty Thursday specials, service members will simply need to present the appropriate ID.

New to Fetch the Fun Fridays, the Chihuahuas will be giving away four flat-screen TVs at each of its 14 Friday home games! There are unlimited ways fans will be able to win these TVs: dance contests, social media trivia, rock/paper/scissors and more! Contestants will have to be present at the game to win!

Headlining the 2017 promotional schedule are a replica PCL Championship Ring giveaway presented by Southwest University (April 9^th), Core Four Bobblehead Series presented by GECU: Carlos Asuaje (May 15^th), Manuel Margot (June 26^th), Austin Hedges (July 24^th) and Hunter Renfroe (August 14^th), 90’s Night (June 3^rd) and the return of Way Out West Fest Night (August 12^th), to name a few!
