Carlos Rodríguez singled in the top of the 3rd to bring home Blake Hunt and give the Chihuahuas a go-ahead run they would not relinquish. El Paso held on to edge Albuquerque 4-3 despite both teams leaving runners stranded throughout the night. The Chihuahuas improved to 51-75 while the Comets fell to 70-55. The teams play again Wednesday.
Gage Workman paced the Chihuahuas at the plate, finishing 3-for-5 with an RBI in the victory.
The Chihuahuas stranded 11 runners while the Comets left 9 on base, a missed-opportunity story for both sides that nearly cost El Paso the game.
Rodríguez's hit moved Ethan Salas to third and proved to be the difference in a one-run decision.

Ranked by win probability added: how far each player's plays moved this game's odds, not how their box-score line reads. A single with the bases loaded in the ninth outranks a home run in a blowout, because that is what actually decided it.
Runs by inning across the top, then every batter and pitcher underneath. The pills switch clubs; the totals column is each side’s own line, not a comparison.
