Padres minors: Tirso Ornelas, El Paso power past Albuquerque

Tirso Ornelas lost a good chunk of the season to a bout of plantar fasciitis.

He’s on good footing now.

The 25-year-old outfielder hit his ninth homer Tuesday, helping Triple-A El Paso to a 15-7 win on Tuesday over visiting Albuquerque.

It was Ornelas’ fifth homer in 25 games since missing nearly two months with the foot injury. He entered the week hitting .253/.357/.495 since coming off the injured list and is hitting .285/.379/.452 on the season after driving in two runs on two hits Tuesday.

First baseman Trenton Brooks (.888 OPS) drove in three runs on two hits, including his ninth homer, and third baseman Marcos Castañon (1.470 OPS) drove in three runs on his third homer.

Right fielder Yonathan Perlaza (.893 OPS) and catcher Rodolfo Duran (.844 OPS) both had two hits.

Shortstop Francisco Acuña (.900 OPS) drove in two runs on a double in his first game with El Paso.

Right-hander Sean Reynolds (2-1, 3.25 ERA) was the lone pitcher to not give up a run so he earned the victory by recording the final four outs.

Left-hander Jackson Wolf (5.63 ERA) struck out eight but allowed two runs on two hits and five walks in four innings.

Right-hander Bradgley Rodriguez (3.38 ERA) allowed two runs on a hit and three walks in two-thirds of an inning.

El Paso is 74-64.
