The Sacramento River Cats scored four runs in the bottom of the third inning Tuesday and beat the El Paso Chihuahuas 6-3.
The Chihuahuas won two of the six games in Sacramento and won five of the 12 completed games on their road trip, which also included a rain-suspended game in Sugar Land.
Former Chihuahua Jason Vosler hit a solo home run in the first inning Tuesday for Sacramento, his third homer of the series. Shaun Anderson pitched a 1-2-3 fifth inning in his first game in the San Diego Padres organization after being claimed on waivers from the Baltimore Orioles.
