Chihuahuas face Kershaw, beat Comets 13-4
The El Paso Chihuahuas trailed 3-0 in the fifth inning Wednesday night but came back to beat the Oklahoma City Comets 13-4 at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. It was the first game of El Paso's six-game road trip in Oklahoma City.
Three-time Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw pitched four shutout innings on MLB Injury Rehab for the Comets before allowing three runs in the fifth inning on a solo home run by Luis Campusano and a two-run home run by Mike Brosseau. It was Kershaw's second career start against the Chihuahuas, after pitching three shutout innings in a rehab start on July 13, 2024 at Oklahoma City. Chihuahuas right fielder Yonathan Perlaza went 2-for-5 with two RBI singles that brought in three total runs. It advanced his hitting streak to 20 games, which is nine games shy of Alex Dickerson's team record 29-game hitting streak that was set in 2016.

Diamondbacks reliever Justin Martinez exits with elbow tightness in 9th inning against Mariners
Associated Press PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona Diamondbacks reliever Justin Martinez exited in the ninth inning against the Seattle Mariners on Monday night because of tightness in his pitching elbow. Martinez entered to start the ninth with the Diamondbacks leading 4-0 and struck out Jorge Polanco and Randy Arozarena to begin the inning. The right-hander then called for an athletic trainer after throwing a pitch to Dylan Moore. Jeff Brigham replaced Martinez and gave up RBI singles to Donovan Solano and Cole Young before Dominic Canzone tied it with a 450-foot, two-run drive to right field for his first major league homer this season. Acquired from Arizona at the 2023 trade deadline, Canzone was called up from Triple-A Tacoma earlier in the day and entered as a pinch hitter in the seventh. Juan Morillo retired slugger Cal Raleigh with two runners aboard to finally end the inning. Josh Naylor hit a game-ending grand slam in the 11th to give Arizona an 8-4 victory. ___ A previous version of this story was corrected to show the Diamondbacks led 4-0 when Martinez entered, and that Young's first name is Cole. ___ AP MLB: recommended
