El Paso second baseman Nate Mondou went 4-for-5 with two doubles in the Chihuahuas’ 8-5 win over the Albuquerque Isotopes Friday night at Rio Grande Credit Union Field. Mondou’s four hits set his new season high and tied his career high.

Chihuahuas reliever Paul Fry struck out three of the four batters he faced in 1.1 innings and got the win. Austin Davis pitched a 1-2-3 ninth inning to pick up his sixth save. Davis has gotten a save in each of his last three outings and has allowed only one run in his last 10 appearances. Chihuahuas designated hitter Eguy Rosario went 1-for-5 with a single to move his on-base streak to 22 games, which is the second-longest active streak in the Pacific Coast League.

The Chihuahuas and Isotopes have split the first four games of the series. Thursday’s game started after a one hour and three minute rain delay.
