In what was supposed to be a duel of starting pitchers between the El Paso Chihuahua’s pitcher Dinelson Lamet and Colorado Springs’ pitcher Brandon Woodruff, it was only Lamet that held up to his side of the bargain, as the Chihuahuas won game four of the series 4-1 on Thursday, May 18.
Lamet threw six innings, and only allowed the lone run in the top of the opening inning of contest. He also struck out nine batters and picked up his third win in five tries this season.
“Great performance by Lamet. Early on we didn’t know how long he could go; his pitch count was really high in the first three innings.
