Diablos lose a nail biter to the Amarillo Sox 11-8

El Paso, TX- Another close defeat leaves the Diablos still searching for their first win of the season.

The Diablos started strong, thanks to three shutout innings by starting pitcher Luis Chirinos. Contrary to the first three innings, the fourth inning was an offensive explosion for both teams, in which the Sox took the lead 4-3.

In the fifth inning, the Sox scored two runs to extend their lead to three, but the Diablos came back with a strong sixth inning, scoring five runs to take a 8-6 lead.

On the brink of their first win of the season, the Diablos give up five runs in the eighth inning, and eventually fell 11-8 to the Amarillo Sox.

The Diablos are now 0-2, with two more games left against the Amarillo Sox, in a four game series. The Diablos play the Amarillo Sox tomorrow night, 7:05 at Cohen Stadium.

Former Diablo Broadcaster Heading to AA Jacksonville

EL PASO, TX – The voice of the Diablos in 2012, Play-by-Play Broadcaster Matt Leland, will be heading east to Jacksonville, FL for 2013 to be one of two Play-by-Play Broadcasters for the Jacksonville Suns, the Double-A affiliate of the Miami Marlins.

Leland, a Millbrae, CA native, is a USC graduate with a BA in Broadcast & Digital Journalism. Before joining the Diablos, Leland gained experience with USC media organizations including student radio, news stations, and newspapers. Leland also had internships with the Los Angeles Kings Hockey Club and LA and San Francisco Media Outlets.

As the Diablo Play-by-Play Broadcaster in 2012, Leland announced all home and away games via the official Diablo webcast and on the official flagship station for the Diablos, Fox Sports Radio, 1380 AM. “Matt was by far the best broadcaster we’ve had in the eight years our organization has been at Cohen Stadium. He has a bright, successful future ahead of him, and we wish him the best,” said Diablo President, Matt LaBranche.

"I am incredibly excited and humbled to be heading to Florida this summer to become a broadcaster for the Jacksonville Suns. I view it as another step towards accomplishing my dream of reaching the Major Leagues. That said, I will greatly miss all the wonderful people, players and coaches in El Paso. The Diablos gave me the kind of opportunity that I doubt I'd find anywhere else. I will always remember El Paso as the first stop on a long journey, one that will always hold a special place in my heart as I move forward,” said Leland.

The Diablos 2013 season kicks off May 16^th against the Amarillo Sox at Cohen Stadium, and wraps home games on August 25^th with the Sioux City Explorers, and officially ends the season on the road in Gary SouthShore with the RailCats.

TIM JOHNSON NAMED MANAGER OF YEAR

EL PASO, TX – Tim Johnson may not have been the manager in El Paso when the 2012 season began, but the Diablos’ performance since his arrival made Johnson this year’s American Association Manager of the Year. Johnson took over as Diablos Field Manager on June 8, and led the team close to playoff contention with a 41-34 record.

“TJ has done a remarkable job turning this season around. We look forward to an exciting 2013 season with him running things from day one,” said Diablos Managing Partner & President, Matt LaBranche.

Johnson’s emergence in El Paso marked his second managing stint in the American Association. The Grand Forks, ND native had previously managed the Lincoln Saltdogs from 2003-2008. Before that, Johnson enjoyed time in the major leagues as a player, coach and manager.

The Diablos skipper began his professional baseball career when the Los Angeles Dodgers signed him in 1967 as an undrafted free agent. From there, Johnson spent seven seasons in the majors with the Milwaukee Brewers (1973-78) and the Toronto Blue Jays (1978-79). In 1993, Johnson began his coaching career by taking a job with the Montreal Expos, which he held the next year, as well. Johnson then took the same position with the Boston Red Sox from 1995-1996 before gaining his first major league managerial job with Toronto in 1998. Johnson led the Blue Jays to an 88-74 record and third place in the AL East.

Don’t miss the opportunity to see El Paso’s team play at Cohen before the season ends. The Diablos will be back in town Friday, August 31 thru Monday, September 3 (Labor Day), for the last home stand of the 2012 season. Promotions include Military & Fireworks Friday, a Zooperstars appearance, Quartermania, and Fan Appreciation Day. Listen to live play by play online at diablos.com with the voice of the Diablos, Matt Leland. Call 915-755-2000 or visit diablos.com for more details.

WICHITA, KS- C.J. Ziegler and David Peralta accounted for six of the Wichita Wingnuts' seven hits and handed Luis Chirinos his first loss as the Diablos fell by a final of 4-2 at Lawrence Dumont Stadium.

Chirinos (3-1) pitched well for the fourth straight start but was undone by a key error, several wild pitches and Ziegler, who homered in his return to the Wingnuts' lineup after a prolonged absence. Chirinos went seven innings, allowing two earned runs on six hits.

The Diablos jumped out to their only lead of the game in the second inning, as Jermy Acey scored on a throwing error made by Wichita. Acey finished the game as the Diablos only player with multiple hits, collecting three in four at-bats.

Wichita tied the game thanks to a Diablos throwing error in the bottom half of the same inning. Reid Fronk's high throw to third on a bunt attempt scored Peralta to tie the score at 1-1.

Ziegler led off the fourth with his 14th home run, and Peralta later scored to make it 3-1 on a wild pitch from Chirinos.

The Diablos got to within one on Acey's RBI single in the eighth, but again the Wingnuts responded as Ziegler drove in Wilson Batista with his third hit of the night.

Josh Dew recorded a perfect ninth for his seventh save. 

In the end, the Diablos could not touch Wingnuts starter Derek Blacksher (8-4), who did not give up an earned run over seven innings of five-it baseball in earning his eighth win.

The loss drops the Diablos to 38-40, four and a half games back of first place Grand Prairie. Game two of the series is scheduled for a 7:05 p.m. (6:05 p.m. MST) start on Tuesday.

HODSDON NAMED PITCHER OF THE WEEK

EL PASO, TX – The official statistician of the American Association, Pointstreak, has selected El Paso RHP Scott Hodsdon as the Pointstreak Pitcher of the Week.

Hodson earned the honor over 2 wins and 16 innings pitched. Hodson won both his starts against Laredo and Sioux City and allowed just one earned run in the process. The right-hander in his second season with the Diablos held the Lemurs to one earned run (three total) over seven innings before going the distance against the Explorers in an 8-0 shutout. In his shutout performance, Hodson struck out six men and surrendered seven hits. Hodsdon has now thrown 35 innings over his last four starts, each of them Diablos victories. His third complete game puts him in a tie for fifth in that category in the American Association. 

This season, Hodsdon is pitching 3.53 ERA in 112.1 innings pitched, with 63 strike outs, 34 walks and 8 wins for the Diablos.    

The Diablos (38-39) are one game under .500 for the first time since beginning the season 1-2 and now head on the road for an eight-game trip against Wichita and Grand Prairie, the latter being the current South Division leaders, with the Diablos 4 games back. The Diablos will be back at Cohen Stadium August 21-23, for a three-game home stand against the Wichita Wingnuts.

EL PASO, TX- Luis Chirinos pitched seven superb innings and Daniel Nelson's three-run triple broke open a close game in the sixth inning as the Diablos rolled to their third straight victory, a 5-2 decision over the division rival Laredo Lemurs.

Chirinos (3-0) won his third straight start since being instated as part of the team's starting rotation, allowing zero earned runs and striking out a team season-high nine batters, surrendering just five hits.

The Diablos fell behind early, however, when Nelson's throwing error allowed Palmer Karr Jr. to reach second base and John Allen proceeded to knock Karr in with an RBI single. The Lemurs handed El Paso a run right back two innings later, making three errors in the third and allowing the Diablos to tie the game 1-1.

It remained that way into the sixth, when Laredo starter Matt Way (7-6), who threw all eight inning on the mound, walked Zane Chavez with the bases loaded to force in a run and give the Diablos a 2-1 lead. Nelson followed that up with a bases-clearing drive into the right center field gap to push the advantage to 5-1.

Tim Adleman, Steven Evarts, and Marcel Prado finished the rest of the game, with Prado earning his 12th saves and second in two nights.

The Diablos (35-38) will go for the sweep of the Lemurs on Thursday.

SIX ERRORS DOOM DIABLOS IN AIRHOGS ROUT
 

 
EL PASO, TX- The Diablos made six defensive errors and the visiting Grand Prairie AirHogs racked up 20 hits en route to a 16-3 victory at Cohen Stadium.
 
El Paso trailed just 7-3 entering the eighth inning, but two errors and six AirHogs hits led to eight runs in the frame, turning a close game into a blowout and tying the three game series at one contest apiece.
 
Starter Ramon Garcia (1-1) lasted just five innings and wasn't as effective as Grand Prairie's Nick DeBarr (11-4), who exacted a measure of revenge after El Paso defeated him a week prior at Quik Trip Park in Grand Prairie.
 
El Paso scored all three of its runs in the third inning. Reid Fronk drove in two with an RBI double and Welington Dotel added an RBI of his own on the day when he was named the American Association's Hitter of the Month.
 
Andres Rodriguez homered for the AirHogs, who reestablished a nine and a half game lead in the South Division over El Paso. 
 
The series finale is Thursday evening at 7:05 p.m., with the Diablos (30-37) scheduled to throw their ace Scott Hodsdon.

DIABLOS SIGN FERNANDO VALENZUELA JR.

EL PASO, TX – The El Paso Diablos are excited to announce the signing of slugger Fernando Valenzuela Jr., the son of famous Dodger, Fernando Valenzuela. The in-fielder, 29, joins El Paso after 9 successful years of professional ball.

Valenzuela Jr. played collegiately at UNLV, before being drafted by the San Diego Padres in the 10^th round (281^st overall) of the 2003 draft. In 2003, Valezuela Jr. played 73 games for the Padres low-A team in Eugene, followed by playing  for the Fort Wayne Wizards; leading the team in hits (148) while hitting .295 in 2004. In 2005, he was promoted to Lake Elsinore (A+). In 2006, Valenzuela Jr. was picked up by the Chicago White Sox and played for the Single-A Kinnapolis Intimidators.

In 2011, Valenzuela Jr. hit .359 in 98 games with 387 at-bats and 125 hits, including 24 doubles, eight home runs, scored 40 runs, and drove in 61 RBIs and was named a Mid-Season All-Star for the Mexican League. Before being picked up by the Diablos, Valenzuela Jr. has spent 2012 appearing in 107 games, with 380 at-bats, 119 hits, 30 doubles, nine home runs, scored 37 runs, driven in 65 RBIs and hitting .314/.371/.464 for Yucatan.

DOTEL NAMED HITTER OF THE MONTH

EL PASO, TX – The official statistician of the American Association, Pointstreak, has selected El Paso OF Welington Dotel as the Pointstreak Hitter of the Month. The announcement comes after a successful month for El Paso, and a current 5 game winning streak.   

Dotel, 26, joined the Diablos roster July 3, and has since made a big impression. In just 25 games and 116 at bats, Dotel is hitting a .414 avg with 48 hits, 22 runs, and 27 RBIs. 

The outfielder went 5-for-6 with three RBI in his second game with the club. Dotel then proved the performance was no fluke.  Though he did not exhibit power, Dotel was productive both at the plate and on the bases, stealing 13 bases. Dotel’s late inning success has helped El Paso pull through with a string of victories, including his walk off one-out single on July 29 in the 10^th inning against Amarillo going 3 for 6 with 2 RBIs. 

Matt LaBranche, Diablos Managing Partner and President, has been impressed with Dotel’s contribution to the club. “Dotel has been a great addition to our lineup, helping to make July a successful month for El Paso.” 

The Diablos are in town for two more days (Aug 1 – Aug 2). Don’t miss the opportunity to see El Paso’s team finish their series against South Division leaders, the Grand Prairie AirHogs.  For promotions and game info, call 915-755-2000 or visit diablos.com.

EL PASO, TX- Welington Dotel's bases loaded infield single scored Maikol Gonzalez in the bottom of the tenth inning and gave the Diablos a three-game sweep of the division rival Amarillo Sox and a four-game winning streak heading into an off day Monday.

The Diablos have now won 22 of their last 31 games and are 25-20 under manager Tim Johnson.

The Diablos have made a habit lately of producing late comeback victories, but this time had to withstand a late rally by the Sox. Ahead 6-4 into the eighth, Amarillo tied the game on a solo home run by Alberto Espinosa and an RBI single b Tyler Goodro.

El Paso built its lead on solid situational hitting. Leading 1-0, J.J. Muse knocked in a run with a sacrifice fly in the second to push the lead to 2-0. Welington Dotel and Zane Chavez each had RBI's in the third to jump ahead 4-0.

Jonathan Cisneros' RBI hit in the seventh gave the Diablos a two-run cushion after Amarillo had rallied to within one.

Justin Harper pitched two scoreless innings to pick up the victory for El Paso, while Sox reliever Derek Christensen only got one out in the tenth in taking the loss.

The Diablos are 29-36 heading into the off day before taking on the first place Grand Prairie Air Hogs at home in a three-game set beginning Tuesday.

EL PASO, TX- Mitch Einertson hit a game-tying, two-run home run off Chase Johnson  in the bottom of the ninth inning at Cohen Stadium to send the Diablos contest against the Amarillo Sox to extra innings, where Jordan Marks delievered a game-winning hit in the 12th.

With one out and Maikol Gonzalez on base, Einertson cleared the left field wall to rally the Diablos in the ninth for the fourth consecutive home contest. Marks' game-winning single in the 12th off Jack Spradlin (5-6) came after two crucial Sox errors to put the winning run in scoring position.

The real star of the game for El Paso may have been Scott Hodsdon who pitched ten innings, allowing two runs on seven hits and striking out five. Justin Harper (1-1) then pitched two scoreless innings in extras to earn his first victory as a Diablo. 

The Sox had built a 2-0 lead on a sacrifice fly and an RBI single before Johnson served up the tying home run to Einertson.

The Diablos move to 27-36 entering game two of the series on Saturday. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. (MST).

GRAND PRAIRIE, TX- The Diablos used a potent offensive attack and strong work from their bullpen to beat the Grand Prairie AirHogs by a final score of 8-6, taking two out of three in the road series and winning their third straight three game set.

As they did the previous game, El Paso jumped out to a 2-0 first inning lead. Welington Dotel and Jermy Acey each had RBI singles in the frame.

After the AirHogs scored one on a solo home run by David Thomas, the Diablos jumped on starter NickDeBarr (10-4), who had been 7-0 at home coming into the contest. The Diablos used five straight hits and an error to extend the lead to 6-1 in the third.

Grand Prairie scored four of their own, however, in the bottom of the third and then tied the game at six on Keanon Simon's RBI double in the fourth.

The Diablos would then take the lead for good with two runs in the top of the sixth off DeBarr. Patrick Arlis scored all the way from first on J.J. Muse's RBI double, and Muse himself scored on Reid Fronk's two out base hit.

El Paso's bullpen, in support of departed starter Steven Evarts, made sure the lead stood. Ramon Garcia (1-0) made his Diablos debut by retiring the first seven batters he faced to earn the victory. Ronny Morla and Tim Adleman added scoreless appearances before Marcel Prado recorded the final four outs to earn his tenth save.

The victory moves the Diablos to 26-36 as the team returns home to take on the Amarillo Sox. First pitch of the three game series and six game home stand is Friday at 7:05 p.m. (MST).

GRAND PRAIRIE, TX- The Diablos and Grand Prairie Air Hogs combined for six home runs (three each) but it was the home town Hogs that had the last laugh, scoring a run in the bottom of the ninth on David Thomas' RBI single to beat El Paso 7-6.

A night after the Diablos pitched a 2-0 shut out, El Paso got out to another fine start on Wednesday. Reid Fronk and Welington Dotel hit back-to-back solo home runs in the first inning off Grand Prairie starter John Brownell, the first time El Paso has hit consecutive longballs in 2012, to take a 2-0 lead.

Down 2-1 in the third, the Air Hogs responded with back-to-back shots of their own. Trent Lockwood hit an opposite field tater with two outs, and former Diablo Bryan Frichter added his own solo blast the very next at-bat to give the Air Hogs a 3-2 lead.

With the score 5-4 into the fifth, Maikol Gonzalez crushed his third home run of the season (and second at QuikTrip Park) to tie the game. The Air Hogs immediately responded when Greg Porter hit another big fly to left for Grand Prairie, establishing a 6-5 lead.

The Diablos tied the game in the seventh, but could not score the rest of the evening as the Air Hogs eventually pushed a run across against reliever Tim Adleman (0-1) to walk off winners and earn their 40th victory of the season. Justin Dowdy (2-0) pitched a scoreless inning to receive the victory.

El Paso is 25-36 entering the series finale on Thursday. First pitch is at 7:05 p.m. (6:05 p.m. MST).

EL PASO, TX- Reyes Dorado pitched six scoreless innings and Jonathan Cisneros homered in a 2-0 Diablos victory over the Grand Prairie Air Hogs at QuikTrip Park. The win was the first of the season for El Paso at the home of the first place Air Hogs.

Dorado (1-2), making his first start of the season after 21 appearances out of the bullpen, limited a tough Grand Prairie attack to two hits over six innings, striking out three and walking just one. Only two batters reached scoring position against Dorado, who earned his first win of 2012.

Air Hogs starter Reymond Cruz (4-4, 0-1), just traded from El Paso to Grand Prairie, was almost as effective, pitching seven solid inning against his former team. However, the Diablos struck for the only two runs of the night in the fifth against Cruz. Jonathan Cisneros led off the inning with his fourth home run, and Reid Fronk later added a run on a sacrifice fly.

Justin Harper and Tim Adleman each pitched scoreless innings in relief before Marcel Prado closed the game out for his ninth save.

The Diablos are 25-35 through 60 games and 21-19 under manager Tim Johnson. Game two of the series is Wednesday at 7:05 p.m. (6:05 p.m. MST).

EL PASO, TX- The Diablos and Saltdogs combined for 40 hits and 35 runs on a night when neither team could seem to get the other out. However, it was the Diablos that came out on top, rallying from a run down in both the ninth and tenth innings to win by a final of 18-17.

Reid Fronk's two run single came with El Paso trailing 17-16 in the bottom of the tenth and gave the Diablos their second straight walk off victory against Lincoln.

El Paso overcame three errors, six hit batsmen and a rare rough outing from starter Scott Hodsdon to win their second straight series heading into a key series with the first place Grand Prairie Air Hogs.

The four hour plus contest extended into extra innings when the Diablos, down 16-15 into the ninth, rallied off Pete Parise to knot the score at 16 on Mitch Einertson's RBI single.

The Saltdogs jumped back ahead in the top of the tenth, but El Paso was not to be denied. J.J. Muse singled to lead off the bottom half and was sacrificed to second by Jordan Marks. Maikol Gonzalez drew a walk after Muse stole third and promptly stole second himself. Fronk then lined a pitch from P.J. Zocchi (1-2) into right field to score both runners and give the Diablos the victory.

David Casillas (2-0) earned the victory in relief for El Paso. The Diablos are 24-35 entering the series against the Air Hogs.

EL PASO, TX- The Diablos scored three runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to turn an 8-4 game into a 8-7 nail biter, but Welington Dotel was called out on a play at the plate to end the game and give the visiting Lincoln Saltdogs a victory in game one of a three game series.

El Paso jumped out to a 3-0 first inning lead but squandered it over the next several innings. The Saltdogs took the lead for good with a four run fifth to jump ahead 6-3, knocking out Diablos starter Steven Evarts (0-1) after just four innings.

Lincoln starter Ryan Sheldon (5-2) settled down after the rocky first, surrendering just one more run over his six and a third total innings, striking out six and walking just two.

With the score 8-4 into the final frame, Welington Dotel hit a three-run triple to bring the Diablos to within one run. Then, with two outs, a passed ball to the backstop sent Dotel sprinting for home plate. Pitcher Brandon Cooney applied the tag and Dotel was called out on a close play, ending the game.

The two teams will continue the series on Saturday at 7:05 p.m.

EL PASO, TX- The Diablos finished a record-long game with the Amarillo Sox with an 11-9 victory in 16 innings and then secured a series victory with a 10-6 triumph over their division rivals to complete a 4-3 road trip.

Tuesday's game was suspended after 14 innings due to league rules and continued Wednesday, picking up the action in the top of the 15th with the score tied at 9. El Paso finally broke through with two runs in the top of the 16th on a Sox throwing error. By the time Freddy Flores earned the save for winning pitcher Kyle Cremers (3-3), the game had gone an American Association record 5 hours and 45 minutes. 

Then, in the series finale, El Paso wasted no time taking the lead as Maikol Gonzalez hit the very first pitch from Sox starter Phil Bartleski over the left field wall for a 1-0 lead. Jonathan Cisneros added a two run triple as the Diablos jumped all over the Amarillo right hander for seven runs in five innings.

David Casillas (1-0) got the victory by throwing six innings, allowing two runs and striking out eight for his first win as a Diablo. 

The Diablos now return home for a brief three-game homestand with the Lincoln Saltdogs.

LATE BARRAGE OF RUNS GIVES DIABLOS VICTORY OVER SALTDOGS

EL PASO, TX- The Diablos scored four of their six runs in the last three innings, making a winner of starter Reymond Cruz (4-3) and winning for the fifth time in seven games on the road with as 6-2 victory over the Lincoln Saltdogs at Haymarket Park. 

El Paso had at least one hit in every inning and ten total in winning their straight overall. The loss for Lincoln gave them 32 defeats, most in the American Association.

It was the Saltdogs that took the early lead on Cruz, jumping out to a 1-0 lead on a solo home run by Stephen Holdren. But El Paso returned the favor when Daniel Nelson homered to tie the score in the top of the fourth.

Later in the inning, the Diablos took their first lead when J.J. Muse's fly ball to right was dropped by Asif Shah, allowing Jonathan Cisneros to score to make it 2-1 El Paso. Cisneros would finish the day 3-for-4 with two runs scored.

Lincoln tied the game on Shah's RBI single in the bottom of the fourth, but Cruz shut down the Saltdogs the rest of the way, finishing his evening with six innings allowing just six hits and striking out three.

El Paso gave Cruz a chance to win by taking the lead in the seventh off former Diablo Ronny Morla (0-1), who had just been traded to Lincoln earlier in the day. With runners on second and third, Jermy Acey (playing in his first game with El Paso) hit a ground ball to second. David Espinosa's throw home was not in time to nab Welington Dotel, who scored to give the Diablos a 3-2 lead.

El Paso would add on three runs in the eighth and ninth to finish off the win.

The Diablos (19-31) will try and win their fourth straight on Friday in game two of the series with Lincoln, with the first pitch scheduled for 6:05 p.m. (MST).

For Immediate Release

EL PASO, TX- The Diablos rebounded from a suspended game on Monday to post victories of 5-2 and 4-1 against the visiting Worcester Tornadoes, splitting the series behind two rock solid starts from Scott Hodsdon and Freddy Flores.

Hodsdon (5-1) won game one of the twin bill by throwing seven and two thirds innings, striking out five and allowing just two runs before giving way to the bullpen in the eighth. Hodsdon was backed by a four run first inning, as El Paso got RBI hits from Mitch Einertson, Welington Dotel and Daniel Nelson. Nelson also knocked in the Diablos' fifth run of the game with a groundout, finishing the contest with a team high three RBI's.

Marcel Prado earned the save in game one and another in game two.

In the second game, a seven inning contest due to American Association rules, Freddy Flores (3-2) nearly matched Hodsdon pitch for pitch. Flores came within three outs of a complete game, with manager Tim Johnson lifting him in the ninth after allowing two base hits to begin the inning. Flores went six innings allowing just one run and did not  allow a walk.

Jonathan Cisneros and J.J. Muse provided the big hits for El Paso in game two, with Cisneros going 2-for-3 with a run scored and an RBI, while Muse's two-run double extended the Diablos' lead to 4-1. 

El Paso is 18-31 heading into a six game road trip at Lincoln and Amarillo.

EL PASO, TX- For the second straight game, the Diablos rallied late against the Worcester Tornadoes but again could not complete the comeback, falling in game two of the inter-league series by a final of 8-5.

El Paso fell behind early and had to play catch up virtually the entire game. The Tornadoes touched up starter Edgar Garcia (0-3) for five runs in the first three innings and seven overall to take a 7-1 lead into the eighth. Worcester scored four times in the opening inning, giving plenty of run support to starter Michael Gedman (2-0).

El Paso's comeback attempt started in the eighth. With the bases loaded and two outs, Scott Clement's bloop double turned a 7-1 deficit into a 7-3 game. J.J. Muse then hit a ground ball to third, but Johnny Welch's throw skipped low and past first baseman Alex Trezza, plating two more runs for the Diablos to make it 7-5.

Like the first game of the series however, El Paso was not able to keep Worcester from adding onto a lead in the ninth. Nick Salotti's RBI double made it a 8-5 contest, and despite bringing the tying run to the plate in the bottom half, the Diablos could not score and fell in their second straight game.

Nick Serino recorded his fifth save and second straight against the Diablos, who fall to 16-31 with the loss. Game three of the series is scheduled for a 7:05 p.m. start on Monday with recent American Association Pitcher of the Week Scott Hodsdon taking the mound for El Paso.

EL PASO, TX- The Diablos surrendered four home runs to the visiting Worcester Tornadoes and had a ninth inning rally fall just short in an 11-10 loss in the team's first inter-league game of the 2012 season. 

Jerod Edmonson led the way for Worcester, mashing two of the four long balls with each one tying the score. Down 8-6, in the fifth, Edmonson's blast over the right center field wall knotted the score. El Paso would not score again until the final frame.

The Diablos had jumped out to a 6-3 lead thanks to a five run second inning against Tornadoes starter Phil Negus, but Negus (2-4) settled down after allowing eight runs over the first four innings and ended up pitching seven innings to earn the victory. 

Patrick Arlis, J.J. Muse, Reid Fronk and Welington Dotel all had multiple hit games for El Paso, but the Diablos couldn't cash in on scoring opportunities in the late innings. That ended up being the difference, as the Tornadoes eventually broke the 8-8 tie on a wild pitch by Kyle Cremers (1-3) in the eighth to go ahead 9-8. 

Worcester then added two insurance runs in the ninth off Reyes Dorado to take an 11-8 lead into the Diablos final at-bat. El Paso would draw to within one on Daniel Nelson's first home run as a member of the Diablos, but couldn't complete the comeback as closer Nick Serino earned his fourth save for the Tornadoes.

The loss snaps El Paso's season-high four game winning streak and drops the team to 16-30 overall. The Diablos will send out Edgar Garcia in game two on Sunday to try to even the series. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.

July 6, 2012

The Diablos have now won nine out of their last 11 games and are just one game under .500 in the 25 contests played for manager Tim Johnson.

The latest victory may have been the most impressive, as El Paso overcame a slow night at the plate with strong and sometimes spectacular defense, stingy pitching and, eventually, timely hitting.

Starter Reymond Cruz (3-3) allowed two runs in the second to spot the Lemurs a 2-0 advantage, but shut down the opposition the rest of his six solid innings with some help from the defense behind him. Left fielder J.J. Muse made a spectacular diving catch to rob the Lemurs of a run in the fourth, and the Diablos twice cut down runners attempting to score at home plate.

Trailing by two, the Diablos made a winner of Cruz by taking the lead in the sixth. Patrick Arlis' bloop single scored two runs to tie the score, and Jordan Marks' bouncing hit to left plated Arlis to give El Paso a 3-2 lead and hand a loss to Lemurs starter Mark Haynes (2-2).

With Cruz out of the game, the bullpen made the lead stand despite several rallies by Laredo. Reyes Dorado struck out Anthony Scelfo to strand a runner at third in the seventh, and Tim Adleman got out of a similar jam in the eighth. Adleman's cause was aided by Mitch Einertson, whose throw home to Patrick Arlis on a single by Stephen Pearson forced runner Stephen Douglas to overstep the plate. Arlis then applied the tag to keep the Diablos ahead.

Marcel Prado pitched a perfect ninth for his sixth save.

The Diablos have won four in a row for the first time in 2012 and also recorded their first sweep of the year by finishing off division rival Laredo. The team will take on the Worcester Tornadoes in El Paso's only interleague set of the season beginning Saturday at 7:05 p.m.

DIABLOS WIN SUSPENDED GAME, BLOW OUT LEMURS IN SECOND CONTEST IN FRONT OF RECORD CROWD

EL PASO, TX- The Diablos finished off a game suspended because of rain with a 3-2 walk off victory in extra innings, and then set season highs in hits and runs in a 22-7 romp over the Laredo Lemurs in front of a record-setting crowd at Cohen Stadium.

Tied 2-2 after nine innings in a game that picked up in the seventh, the Diablos loaded the bases for Scott Clement in the bottom of the tenth. Clement promptly lined a single to right field to give El Paso a one-run victory in game one of the pseudo double-header.

Game two proved to be a mismatch, with the Diablos piling up 22 runs and 23 hits to earn their second victory of the day. Nelson Teilon led the way for the Diablos with five RBI's, and Mitch Einertson added his second home run in as many days for El Paso.

Every regular except for Clement finished with at least two hits, and Welington Dotel had five on his own to pace the Diablos' prolific night at the plate.

Scott Hodsdon became an afterthought despite his second straight impressive start. Hodsdon pitched six solid, innings, giving up only three runs and striking out seven before being lifted due to the game being out of reach for the opposition. 

The victory was watched by a Cohen Stadium record crowd of 13,516 as the Diablos continued their tradition of capacity crowds at the ballpark on Independence Day.

The Diablos are 14-29 and will go for their second three game winning streak of the year at 7:05 p.m. on Thursday in game three of the four game series with Laredo.

DIABOS, LEMURS TIED AS GAME POSTPONED DUE TO RAIN

EL PASO, TX- The Diablos and Laredo Lemurs played to a 2-2 tie through nearly seven complete innings before the game was postponed due to rain.

EL PASO UNABLE TO FINISH SWEEP AS EXPLORERS WIN WILD ONE

SIOUX CITY, IA- The Diablos twice held leads in the seventh inning or later but could not hold on to either advantage as the Sioux City Explorers won a topsy-turvy contest by a final score of 6-5, salvaging the final game of a three game series.

El Paso's seventh inning lead of 4-2 and ninth inning lead of 5-4 both vanished as the Explorers refused to go down quietly, eventually winning in extras on Peter Barrows' walk off home run in the tenth off Ronny Morla (2-4).

The Diablos struck first on Maikol Gonzalez's sacrifice fly in the third off Explorers starter Alain Quijano to take a 1-0 lead, but Sioux City tied the game on a balk by El Paso hurler Reymond Cruz in the bottom half of the same inning. The Explorers then forged ahead on a sac fly of their own in the sixth off the bat of Ryan Priddy.

The Diablos rallied valiantly off Quijano and reliever Eddie de la Cruz in the seventh, taking a 4-2 lead on Jordan Marks' two-run single and adding another run on a perfectly executed squeeze bunt by Gonzalez. Patrick Arlis, the back runner, scored on Marks' single with a headfirst hook slide, avoiding the tag of Sioux City catcher Ray Serrano.

The Explorers would tie the game in the bottom of the seventh, however. After the first two runners reached against reliever Reyes Dorado, Brian Bistang singled in a run to cut the lead to 4-3. Brandon Newton's sac fly tied the score the very next batter, sending the game into the eighth all knotted up.

The Diablos again rallied to take the lead that very inning. Jonathan Cisneros was hit by a pitch with two outs and nobody on base, and scored on Arlis' RBI double to give El Paso a 5-4 lead.

Leading by one run, Marcel Prado could not finish the game off and earn his sixth save. Another RBI hit by Bistang tied the game, which went to extra innings when, with the bases loaded. J.J. Muse caught a fly ball for the second out and proceeded to fire home and nail runner Kris Sanchez at the plate for an inning ending double play. 

After a scoreless top of the tenth, Barrows ended the game with his one out longball off the scoreboard at Lewis and Clark Park, winning the game for Sioux City and giving the victory to reliever Chris Bodishbaugh (1-1).

The Diablos fall to 12-29 but finish 4-2 on the road trip and now return home for an eight-game home stand against the Laredo Lemurs and the Worcester Tornadoes.

DIABLOS TAKE SECOND STRAIGHT SERIES BEHIND FLORES, PAIR OF HOME RUNS

SIOUX CITY, IA- Freddy Flores earned his first win as a member of the Diablos and both Reid Fronk and Scott Clement hit fifth inning home runs as El Paso won for the fifth time in six games, beating the Sioux City Explorers 5-3.

Flores (1-2) got into some early jams but limited the damage and pitched five and two thirds innings of two-run ball, holding the Explorers to just six hits while striking out a season high eight batters. Flores also walked just two batters before giving way to a suddenly resurgent Diablos bullpen.

Kyle Cremers allowed just one run in an inning and a third while Tim Adleman continued his scoreless streak as a member of the Diablos by pitching a perfect eighth. Adleman has not allowed a run in his first five appearances with El Paso over a span of seven and a third innings. Marcel Prado pitched a scoreless ninth for his fifth save.

At the plate, the Diablos continued to attack Explorers pitching, rapping out 13 more hits to push their total through the first two games of the series to 31. Down 1-0 in the fourth, El Paso took the lead behind Uriak Marquez's RBI single and J.J. Muse's RBI double to right center.

After Sioux City tied the game on a wild pitch, the Diablos took the lead for good in the fifth. Reid Fronk led off the inning with his first home run as a Diablo to put El Paso back in front 3-2. Several batters later, with Jordan Marks on base, Scott Clement hit his second long ball of the road trip to make it 5-2.

Sioux City would draw closer with a run in the seventh, but Aldeman and Prado made sure the lead stood by not allowing a hit over the final two innings.

The only down side of the night for El Paso came in the fourth, when left fielder Brian Joynt injured his left wrist attempting to make a diving catch and was forced to leave the game. Joynt is the team's leader in home runs and RBI's.

The Diablos, a team with just one victory on the road entering the current six-game trip, have now won four out of five away from Cohen Stadium and have earned their first two series victories of 2012. El Paso will go for the sweep behind Reymond Cruz on Sunday. First pitch against Sioux City is scheduled for 6:05 p.m. in Iowa and 5:05 p.m. (MST).

DIABLOS THREE GAME STREAK COMES TO AN END AS PHEASANTS ROLL

SIOUX FALLS, SD- The suddenly hot Diablos could not muster a run against Sioux Falls starter Rod Scurry, who shut out El Paso on eight hits in eight innings of work in a 11-0 Pheasants win in the finale of a three-game series.

Scurry (3-1) pitched his best game of the season, striking out five and walking just one, and allowing two runners to reach third base over his 112 pitches during the afternoon. The Diablos were not able to record an extra base hit and were shut out for just the third time all season.

For the second straight game, El Paso's starter struggled in the opening innings. Edgar Garcia (0-2) surrendered five runs in the first two frames and ended his day giving up six runs (four earned) in five innings with a walk and just two strikeouts.

Six different Pheasants had RBI's, with first baseman Cesar Nicolas and right fielder Mark Shorey leading the way with three apiece. A pair of two-run doubles by Nicolas and Shorey in the eighth inning off reliever Kyle Kreich finished off the blowout victory for Sioux Falls.

The win salvaged the series for the Pheasants, who had lost the first two games, and dropped the Diablos to 10-28 on the year.

El Paso will now travel to Sioux City, Iowa to take on the Explorers on Friday evening in game one of a three-game series.

DIABLOS SALVAGE SERIES BEHIND STRONG START FROM HODSDON

EL PASO, TX- Scott Hodsdon (2-1) pitched five and a third solid innings and the Diablos bullpen held the opposition scoreless for the second consecutive night as El Paso earned a 6-3 victory over the Laredo Lemurs in front of 3,000-plus at Cohen Stadium.

Hodsdon endured only one shaky inning, a three-run third for the Lemurs, and held Laredo to just seven hits while striking out four and walking one. Outside of that third, the right-hander allowed only three hits and turned over a 5-3 lead to a suddenly stout relief corps.

The Diablos jumped on the Lemurs for thee early runs, taking the lead on Nelson Teilon's RBI single in the first inning and then extending the advantage on Jordan Marks' sac fly and Maikol Gonzalez's run-scoring single in the second.

The Lemurs rallied to tie the game in the third, with John Allen's RBI double knotting the score at three. But while Hodsdon limited the damage and recovered, Lemurs starter Todd Privett faltered again in the fifth. Patrick Arlis singled in Nelson Teilon to retake the lead, and Scott Clement's hit made it 5-3 El Paso.

The Diablos would add the final run of the game in the sixth when Marks scored on a double play grounder. Once Hodsdon exited in the sixth, Ronny Morla, Kyle Cremers and Marcel Prado extinguished any further fires with three and two thirds innings of scoreless relief. None of the three hurlers allowed a hit, and Prado's perfect ninth was the right-hander's third save of 2012.

The Diablos now head out on the road to take on the Sioux Fallas Pheasants and Sioux City Explorers. Diablos fans can catch those games on Fox Sports Radio 1380 in El Paso. First pitch on Tuesday in the opener against Sioux Falls is scheduled for 5:05 p.m. (MST).

BATS RETURN BUT PITCHING FALTERS AS DIABLOS ARE SWEPT BY T-BONES

KANSAS CITY, KS- A seven-run second inning was not enough for the Diablos to avoid a sweep at the hands of the Kansas City T-Bones, as El Paso feel in the series finale at Community American Ballpark by a final of 15-11.

The game was of the roller coaster variety, featuring a bonanza of runs throughout the first several innings before calming down in the middle frames and one final offensive explosion late. The T-Bones jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning off Diablos starter Colin Allen (0-4), as Brandon Jones and Ray Sadler hit back-to-back home runs.

El Paso finally saw its dormant offense come to life the next frame, scoring seven runs to take what would prove to be their only lead of the game. Enrique Cruz doubled in Nelson Teilon for the team's first run since Monday and then scored himself on Patrick Arlis' RBI hit a couple batters later. 

Kory Drew and Maikol Gonzalez each added run-scoring singles before Uriak Marquez delivered the big blow, a three-run home run to right-center to give the Diablos a 7-3 lead after an inning and a half. The long ball was Marquez's first of 2012.

But Kansas City did El Paso one better in their half of the second, scoring eight runs to take a four-run lead of their own. Ray Sadler hit his second home run of the game, a three-run blast that put the T-Bones back in front 9-7, who would tack on two more runs in the inning and three more in the third to lead 14-7 after only three innings. Allen exited after getting just two outs in the second and finished with his least effective outing of the year, surrendering eight earned runs and recording just five outs.

After Diablos reliever Tim Adleman and T-Bones starter Nick Singleton (4-1) sped the game along by each throwing scoreless innings in the fourth, fifth and sixth, El Paso started to mount a comeback. Kory Drew hit his second home run of the season to begin the seventh inning, and several batters later Enrique Cruz added a three-run tater that made the score 14-11.

That was as close as the Diablos would get, however. Kansas City added one last insurance run in the seventh on a sacrifice fly by Sadler. The T-Bones designated hitter finished with five RBI's and three extra base hits, with his sac fly falling just five feet short of the wall in left center field. 

Kansas City finished with a season high 15 runs and 19 hits, stranding just seven runners over the course of the game.

The loss drops El Paso to 7-25 as the team heads back home to Cohen Stadium to take on the Laredo Lemurs for the first time away from Uni Trade Stadium. The Diablos have an off day on Thursday before beginning the series on Friday night. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. (MST) and can be heard on diablos.com.

DIABLOS OFFENSE CONTINUES TO SCUFFLE IN 8-1 LOSS IN KANSAS CITY

KANSAS CITY, KS- The Diablos turned in a third straight ineffective offensive performance, scoring just one run on seven hits in an 8-1 loss in their series opener with the Kansas City T-Bones.

El Paso, ranked third in the American Association in batting average just a week ago, has now scored just four runs over its last 31 innings, a span of three games stretching back to game two of the last series in Laredo. Their only run on Monday evening in Kansas City came in the fifth, when J.J. Muse doubled in Jonathan Cisneros.

By that point, the T-Bones had built a comfortable lead thanks to a big, six-run second inning off Diablos starter Reymond Cruz. The turning point of the inning, and arguably the game, came when Hunter Mense hit a pop up with a man on and one out in the frame. Shortstop Maikol Gonzalez committed the Diablos' league-leading 53rd error of 2012 when he dropped the ball, allowing the rally to continue unabated.

Kansas City then ripped off five more hits, including a pair of two-run singles from Gus Milner and Brandon Jones to pull ahead 6-0 by the end of the frame. Cruz (1-3), who allowed seven runs over five innings of work, was only charged with one earned run but still took his third loss.

Any chance the Diablos had to come back was snuffed out by T-Bones starter Shaun Garceau (2-0), who only allowed two runners to reach scoring position outside the fifth inning. Garceau only struck out three but didn't walk a batter and earned the victory with his second consecutive impressive outing.

The T-Bones added two late runs on a pair of long, solo home runs. Designated hitter Ray Sadler went deep to make it 7-1 in the fifth, and Kaaihue hit a towering blast into the left-center field bullpen in the eighth for the game's final run.

Each of the Diablos' two newly acquired relievers made an appearance. Tim Adleman struck out three in two scoreless innings, and Drew Graham surrendered one run on the home run to Kaaihue. 

El Paso will try and even the series on Tuesday behind right-hander Scott Hodsdon. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. local time in Kansas City and 6:05 p.m. in El Paso.

LEMURS LEFTY SHUTS OUT DIABLOS ON JUST ONE HIT

LAREDO, TX- Laredo Lemurs left-hander Matt Way (3-2) was nearly unhittable against the Diablos on Friday night, limiting El Paso to no runs on just one hit while throwing a complete game to give Laredo a 4-0 victory in game two of the three game series at Uni Trade Stadium.

Way had it going from the very first pitch, retiring the first nine Diablos before Maikol Gonzalez led off the fourth with the first and only hit for El Paso, who managed only five total baserunners on the night. The southpaw also struck out nine and walked three en route to his first complete game of 2012.

Diablos starter Freddy Flores (0-2) pitched well but took the loss in what turned out to be El Paso's quickest game of the season, finishing in just a little over two hours. Flores allowed four runs on nine hits, striking out three and walking three but received no run support from his offense, which was shut out for just the second time in 2012.

The Lemurs jumped on Flores for an early run when former Diablo Javier Brito singled in Anthony Scelfo to give Laredo a 1-0 lead in the first. The only other scoring frame of the game came in the bottom of the fourth, when Ernie Banks Jr. doubled in two runs and Phillip Incaviglia bunted home another to give Laredo all the runs they would need.

Relievers Blake Cull and Marcel Prado each threw scoreless innings for the Diablos, who dropped their fifth straight to the Lemurs, and the first of the five by more than one run.

The Diablos will try and salvage the series in the finale on Saturday before leaving for the second leg of the road trip in Kansas City. First pitch is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. in Laredo and 6:30 p.m. El Paso time.

DIABLOS LOSE LEAD LATE AS BULLPEN SUFFERS BAD NIGHT

EL PASO, TX- The Diablos bullpen faltered down the stretch after El Paso lead 5-4 into the 8th inning, giving the Amarillo Sox a 17-8 victory despite the score being just 5-4 entering the frame.

El Paso led 5-4 heading into the 8th, but reliever Kyle Cremers (1-2) suffered one of his shakier outings to the best hitting team in the American Association. By the time Cody Railsback finished the inning, the Sox had put across ten runs and all but assured themselves of a series victory.

The Diablos had fought back from an early deficit to take a 5-3 lead on Patrick Arlis' three-run double. Arlis would knock in two runs in the ninth to finish with five RBI's on the evening.

It wasn't enough for the Diablos, however, as El Paso gave up 13 runs in the final two innings, allowing a pair of home runs to the Sox and eventually surrendering 18 hits on the night.

Reliever Andrew Bowman picked up the win for the Sox to move to 1-1 on the year.

The Diablos now head to Laredo to begin a three-game series with the Lemurs.

LATE HIT FROM ARLIS GIVES DIABLOS VICTORY OVER SOX

EL PASO, TX- Patrick Arlis' RBI triple in the bottom of the eighth inning proved to be the go-ahead hit in the Diablos' 10-9 victory over the division rival Amarillo Sox, giving El Paso its sixth win of the season in front of 1,492 fans at Cohen Stadium.

For a moment, it looked like another game of missed opportunities for El Paso. The Diablos jumped out to a 9-2 sixth inning lead, an advantage they saw evaporate when Amarillo plated seven runs in that frame to tie the game.

But after several shut down innings by a bullpen that had struggled coming into the contest, Arlis plated Jonathan Cisneros with a drive down the right field line that evaded the dive of right fielder Tim Alberts and rolled to the wall, giving the home team a much needed win.

The fact that the game came to Arlis' clutch hit was concerning for the Diablos, who jumped out to a big advantage thanks in part to a five run first inning. Arlis, who reached base all five times he came up in the game, knocked in two of the runs with a two-out single, as El Paso jumped all over Sox starter Derek Christensen.

It was 8-1 after three innings as the Diablos added a trio of runs in the third, two of them on a two-run double by Derrick Pyles, and then 9-2 heading into the sixth before Amarillo began to rally. The Sox knocked Scott Hodsdon from the game and then pounced on reliever Reyes Dorado. Tim Alberts knotted the game with a two-run triple to right center to cap a seven-run frame.

From there, however, El Paso's 'pen settled down. Dorado, newcomer Blake Cull and Kyle Cremers did not allow another run to score, giving the Diablos a chance to take the lead on Arlis' triple off reliever Wes Littleton (2-2).

Cremers (1-1) earned the win with a scoreless inning and Marcel Prado picked up his second save, allowing just one baserunner in a relatively stress-free ninth.

The Diablos will go for the series win on Wednesday night behind right-hander Colin Allen. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. (MST).

DIABLOS 'PEN CAN'T HOLD LATE LEAD AS EL PASO SPLITS SERIES

EL PASO, TX- The visiting Grand Prairie Air Hogs rallied for four runs in the top of the eighth inning at Cohen Stadium to erase a late two-run Diablos lead and give the Air Hogs a split of the four game series.

The Diablos had erased an early two-run deficit of their own and led 7-5 heading into the final two innings, but El Paso's bullpen could not secure starter Freddy Flores' first win of 2012 as the Diablos fell in new manager Tim Johnson's third game at the helm.

Grand Prairie jumped out to an early advantage on an RBI single by Greg Porter in the first inning and extended the lead when Andres Rodriguez followed suit two innings later. The Diablos offense, which recorded 11 hits on the evening, began the see-saw trend in the fourth with a three-run frame to take the lead. Jonathan Cisneros' two-run double tied the game, and Patrick Arlis followed with a run-scoring single to put El Paso ahead.

The Air Hogs wasted no time retaking the lead in the fifth, as Andres Rodriguez lined his fourth home run of the year over the left field wall with Diablo-killer Keanon Simon on base to put Grand Prairie ahead 4-3.

El Paso returned the favor in the bottom half, as Nelson Teilon's single to right scored two runs and put El Paso ahead 5-4. The Diablos would add one run to the lead in the sixth before the two teams exchanged runs in the seventh.

With Flores out of the game in the eighth and the Diablos up 7-5, reliever Kyle Cremers (0-1) loaded the bases with nobody out before giving way to Reyes Dorado. Dorado got one out, but Simon came up with one out and crushed a three-run triple to left-center, putting the Air Hogs ahead to stay.

Grand Prairie would add one insurance run on an RBI single from Bryan Myrow before relievers Jakob Cunningham and Justin Dowdy finished off the game with a scoreless inning apiece. Dowdy's frame earned him his third save of 2012.

Despite walking two batters and giving up a run in his only inning of work, Griffin Bailey (1-3) earned his first win in four decisions.

The Diablos will remain home to take on the South Division leading Amarillo Sox who arrive in El Paso on Monday for a three-game series. Game one is scheduled for a 7:05 p.m. (MST) start with right-hander Reymond Cruz on the hill for the Diablos.

DIABLOS FALL IN FIRST GAME UNDER NEW SKIPPER JOHNSON

EL PASO, TX- The Diablos could not deliver new manager Tim Johnson a victory in his first game at the helm in El Paso, as the visiting Grand Prairie Air Hogs racked up 19 hits en route to convincing 17-3 victory in front of 4,416 at Cohen Stadium.

Starter Colin Allen (0-3) suffered his worst outing of the 2012 season, giving up 13 hits and nine runs over five and a third innings before giving way to a bullpen that could not stymie a potent Grand Prairie attack. The Air Hogs had five different innings in which they scored at least three runs after scoring one run in the top of the first.

Seven different Air Hogs drove in runs for Grand Prairie who improved to 11-9 on the season. The visitors were paced by Chris McMurray and Mike Brownstein, who each knocked in three runs and reached base a combined seven times. 

Trent Lockwood added a two-run home run off reliever Geivy Garcia, his team leading fourth of the season.

On offense, the Diablos could not take advantage of three newcomers in the lineup against Grand Prairie starter Josh Strawn, who threw his first complete game of the year. Strawn allowed runs in just one frame, a three-run fifth for El Paso, throwing 112 pitches and striking out four to earn his second victory.

New additions Derrick Pyles (one) and Jordan Marks (two) drove in all three of El Paso's runs out of the number eight and nine slots in Tim Johnson's order. New acquisition Enrique Cruz went 1-4 in his first game in a Diablos uniform. 

With the four-game series tied after two contests, the Diablos will try and get back in the win column behind Osvaldo Rodriguez at 7:05 p.m. on Saturday night.

DIABLOS NAME TIM JOHNSON NEW FIELD MANAGER

EL PASO, TX – The El Paso Diablos have announced that veteran and former Major League Field Manager, Tim Johnson, will replace Jorge Alvarez effective immediately.

This next step with the Diablos is a continuation of a long, varied career. Johnson, a Grand Forks, ND native, was signed as an undrafted free agent in 1967 by the Los Angeles Dodgers. Johnson spent 7 seasons in the major leagues with the Milwaukee Brewers (1973-1978) and the Toronto Blue Jays (1978-1979).

After he hung up his cleats, Johnson moved on to managerial positions in the Pioneer League (Great Falls, RK), California League (Bakersfield, A+), and American Association (Indianapolis, AAA) between 1987-1990. He was awarded with the Manager of the Year in 1987 and 1988 with the Pioneer League. Following these positions in the minors, Johnson made his major league coaching debut as the Montreal Expos’ Bench Coach in 1993, where he stayed until 1994. He then took the same position with the Boston Red Sox (1995-1996). After one year managing in Iowa (American Association, AAA), Johnson moved back to Major League Baseball as the Toronto Blue Jays Manager in 1998. In his single season with the Blue Jays, the team experienced their first winning season since their World Series win in 1993. They finished in 3^rd place in the AL East with an 88-74 record.

In 2003, the Lincoln Saltdogs came calling (Northern League/American Association, IND). Johnson took over as Manager, a position he held until 2008. While with the Saltdogs, Johnson’s career record was 314-252, and was once again awarded with Manager of the Year in 2006.  In his six seasons with Lincoln, the Saltdogs made the playoffs 3 straight years winning the North Division each of those years. After leaving Lincoln, Johnson managed the Tucson Toros (Golden Baseball League) in 2008, and the Lake County Fielders in 2010 (North American League).

Matt LaBranche, Diablos Managing Partner, said, “The ownership of the Diablos is dedicated to turning this, thus far, very disappointing season around, and we’re confident that turning the reigns of the team over to Field Manager Tim Johnson, will get us going in the right direction. We are very lucky that he was available, and look forward to bigger and better things with him in the dugout.”

The Diablos are in town this week (June 8 – June 13). Don’t miss the opportunity to see El Paso’s team play at Cohen before the team hits the road for Laredo, TX and Kansas City, KS until June 22nd.  For promotions and game info, call 915-755-2000 or visit diablosl.com.

DIABLOS SNAP SIX GAME SLIDE WITH 9-4 WIN OVER GRAND PRAIRIE

EL PASO, TX- The Diablos broke a string of six straight losses in a big way in their series opener against the Grand Prairie AirHogs, pounding out 15 hits en route to a 9-4 victory at Cohen Stadium.

In the first game for El Paso newcomers Jimmy Rohan and Brian Ramirez, it was a set of familiar faces that drove the Diablos to their fourth victory of 2012. Right-hander Scott Hodsdon (1-0) delievered one of the best outings of the season for any El Paso starter, throwing seven solid innings and allowing only two runs on seven hits while striking out seven and walking just one to earn his first victory of the season.

At the plate, the Diablos were paced by three separate four-hit efforts, as Bryan Frichter, Brian Joynt and Kory Drew each produced a quartet of knocks. Frichter drove in three runs, including two with a triple in the seventh that turned a tight game into a slightly more comfortable 7-2 lead for the Diablos, who had lost five of their last six contests by one run. 

The AirHogs jumped out to a 1-0 first inning lead, but it was the last time Grand Prairie would enjoy the lead on the night. Starter Lance Janke (0-3) lasted just one inning, walking three Diablos batters and allowing two runs on 35 pitches before giving way to the bullpen. 

Joynt scored two runs and drove in two more hitting from the third spot in the order for the first time in 2012, and made several sparkling plays out in left field, while Kory Drew continued to make a case as one of the best number nine hitters in the league with a 4-for-5 evening with a run scored.

Kyle Cremers pitched a scoreless eighth inning for the Diablos, who at that point led 9-2, and Reyes Dorado finished the game off in the ninth despite allowing two late runs on a double by Keanon Simon.

The win moved El Paso to 4-16 on the year and dropped the AirHogs to 10-9. Game two of the series is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. (MST), with Colin Allen the projected starter for the Diablos.

FOR FIFTH TIME IN SIX GAMES, DIABLOS LOSE BY ONE RUN

AMARILLO, TX- The Diablos once again fell one run short in the finale of a six-game road trip and a three-game set with their divisional rival Amarillo Sox, losing by a final of 4-3 at Amarillo National Bank Sox Stadium.

Unlike Tuesday night, it was El Paso that had to fight back from an early deficit on Wednesday, falling behind Amarillo in the first inning on a two-run home run by Sox slugger Tim Alberts. The Diablos would eventually tie the score at 2-2, but never took the lead in falling to 3-16 on the season.

 While the Diablos have relied on a solid offense to keep them in games throughout most of 2012, Amarillo starter Ryan Mitchell (2-0) limited El Paso to just three runs on five hits in seven solid innings after entering the game with an era of 11.46. Mitchell struck out six and walked three in earning his second victory of 2012.

Brian Joynt's two-run double gave him a team-leading 15 RBI's on the year and knotted the game in the fourth inning, but in the very next frame Harrison Kain doubled in Matt Tucker to give the Sox the lead back.

Another RBI hit from Alberts, this time a double in the fifth, stretched the lead to 4-2 for Amarillo. All four runs were charged to Diablos starter Reymond Cruz (1-1), who struck out seven and walked only one in six innings but still took his first loss.

The Diablos pulled to within one after a throwing error by Amarillo shortstop Jason White allowed Javier Brito to score in the seventh. But Sox relievers Andrew Bowman and Chase Johnson each threw a scoreless frame to finish off the three-game sweep and keep the Sox atop the South Division in the American Association.

Johnson pitched a perfect ninth for his sixth save of 2012.

The Diablos will try and end the six game slide when they return home Thursday night to begin a series with the defending champion Grand Prairie Air Hogs. The Air Hogs swept the Diablos in the teams' first series of the year at QuikTrip Park. Right hander Scott Hodsdon is scheduled to start the opener at 7:05 p.m. (MST).

DIABLOS LOSE THIRD STRAIGHT ONE RUN DECISION TO LAREDO

LAREDO, TX- The script is becoming all too familiar for the Diablos, who lost their third consecutive one-run game to the Laredo Lemurs on Sunday night, this time falling by a final of 7-6 at brand new Uni-Trade Stadium in Laredo.

As they did on Saturday, El Paso fell behind 5-0 before scratching across their first run. Laredo strung together six hits in the bottom of the second, with the biggest blow coming when John Allen doubled in two runs to make it a four-run frame for the home squad.

The Lemurs would add one more run the next inning on Anthony Scelfo's opposite field home run. The Diablos then began to fight back, beginning their rally in the fourth inning, just as they had on Saturday. Patrick Arlis singled to knock in Nelson Teilon for El Paso's first run, and Javier Brito cut the lead to three when he scored from third on a passed ball. 

Bryan Frichter made it 5-3 in the fifth with an RBI single to score Kory Drew. Then, with two outs in the bottom of the sixth, Brian Joynt mashed his first home run of the season over the left field wall, a two-run shot that tied the score at 5.

Once again, however, the Diablos could not sustain the momentum. Starter Colin Allen (0-2) began the bottom half of the sixth by hititng Brian Peterson with a pitch, then gave up a single to number nine hitter Jeff Vincent. After Allen was lifted for reliever Kyle Cremers, leadoff man Jimmy Mojica laid down a bunt that Cremers fielded and threw wide to third, sending the ball into left field and scoring Peterson to give the Lemurs a 6-5 advantage.

Laredo would add one more run before the top of the ninth, when El Paso staged one final rally against Lemurs closer Jon Hunton. Jonathan Cisneros doubled into the right-center field gap to score Kory Drew and bring the Diablos to within one run. With one out, Frichter grounded out and Nelson Teilon's line drive to center field was caught by Vincent to end the game and secure the series sweep for the Lemurs, who move to 8-8 on the year. Robert Romero (1-0) earned the win in relief for Laredo. 

The loss drops El Paso to 3-13 heading into a three-game set in Amarillo against the division rival Sox. Osvaldo Rodriguez is scheduled to start the first game of the series, which will begin Monday at 6:05 p.m. (MST).

DIABLOS RALLY FROM FIVE DOWN, WALK OFF WINNERS IN NINTH

EL PASO, TX- Trailing 12-7 to the Kansas City T-Bones after four and a half innings, the Diablos scored the final six runs of the evening, including one in the bottom of the ninth to win their third game of the season and head into a six-game road trip with a victory.

Javier Brito's double in the 9th scored Nelson Teilon, who had doubled to lead off the frame, giving El Paso a much-needed win and sending the team and fans in attendance into a frenzy. The hit was Brito's second of the extra base variety after a two-run triple in the fourth.

The two teams combined for 25 runs and 34 hits in a see-saw battle that appeared destined to end in another Diablos loss. Kansas City got two-run home runs from Bubby Williams (1) and Devin Goodwin (2), with Goodwin's the biggest blow in a seven run top of the fifth for the T-Bones. Kansas City chased El Paso starter Freddy Flores after just four plus innings and were poised for the series sweep.

But the Diablos began chipping away at the lead in the bottom half, scoring two runs on Maikol Gonzalez's RBI single and an RBI groundout from Bryan Frichter. They added two more the very next inning on a sac fly from Jonathan Cisneros and Gonzalez's second RBI single in as many innings.

Trailing by just one, the Diablos turned to Geivy Garcia (1-2) on the mound, who struck out four batters in two innings of work to earn the victory, including striking out the side in the ninth.

Facing T-Bones reliever Sean Toler (0-1), El Paso strung together doubles by Teilon and Brito to earn the victory and send the crowd home happy on Military Appreciation Night at Cohen Stadium.

The Diablos have a day off on Thursday before heading to Laredo to begin a six game road trip with the Lemurs and the Amarillo Sox. Those games can be heard on Fox Sports Radio 1380 AM in El Paso. Reymond Cruz is scheduled to receive the start in game one of the series with Laredo on Friday night at 7:05 p.m.

DIABLOS ERRORS PROVE COSTLY IN LOSS TO KANSAS CITY

EL PASO, TX- The Dibalos made five errors, two by shortstop Bryan Frichter, and had a comeback attempt fall short in a 9-4 loss to the Kansas City T-Bones on a Memorial Day series opener at Cohen Stadium.

The Diablos outhit Kansas City ten to eight, but the team's defense was not able to make several plays that would have allowed its pitchers to escape innings unscathed. The first came in the second inning when first baseman Javier Brito threw high to second base on a potential double play ball, setting the T-Bones up to score on a sacrifice fly later in the frame to take a 1-0 lead.

El Paso tied the game in the bottom of the third on an RBI hit from newcomer Nelson Teilon, who played in his first game as a Diablo in 2012. Kansas City responded with a run in the fourth when Brandon Jones, who had reached on the first of Frichter's two errors, crossed home after a wild pitch scooted between the legs of catcher Jonathan Cisneros. The T-Bones then added two more runs in the fifth on an RBI groundout by Gus Miler and a run-scoring single by Sean Henry.

Henry also provided the knockout blow in the seventh, hitting a three-run home run over the left field wall off Diablos reliever Cody Railsback, who had walked the two runners in front of Henry to lead off the inning. That made the score 7-1, and the T-Bones would add one more run in the frame.

The Diablos made an attempt at a comeback with one run in the bottom of the seventh courtesy of a Brian Joynt RBI single and two more in the eighth to pull to within four runs. After Kansas City closed out the scoring with an additional run in their half of the ninth, the Diablos loaded the bases in their final at-bat before Bryan Frichter struck out (the only time he did not reach base) and Uriak Marquez grounded out on the first pitch to end the ballgame.

Colin Allen (0-1) received the loss despite giving up just four hits and two earned runs in his first start of the season. Josh Rainwater (1-2) picked up his first win for Kansas City with seven solid innings of work, allowing just two runs on six hits. 

The two teams will resume this three-game series Tuesday night at 7:05. Scheduled to start are Osvaldo Rodriguez (1-1) for El Paso and Nick Singleton (1-1) for the T-Bones.
