Coyotes starter Miguel Martinez only allowed two baserunners in his first four innings of work.
Andy Schon, the starter for the Broncos, matched Martinez as he also had allowed only two baserunners thru his three innings of work.
However, unlike Martinez, Schon ran into trouble in the fourth inning as Edinburg took a 1-0 lead on Eric Gonzalez’s sacrifice fly.
The game would remain that way until the bottom of the seventh inning when Schon ran into trouble again when he walked Robert Matlock to force in Amado German from third base for a 2-0 Coyotes lead.
Wasylak would then come in for Schon, who ended up throwing 6 1/3 innings, surrendering two runs, none earned, on eight hits.
He walked two and struck out 10.
Martinez also left the game in the seventh.
The Broncos would cut their deficit in half on Edgard Clemente’s RBI single with two outs in the eighth.

Matt Lawman would score to tie the game on a Coyotes error before Ponce added a clutch two-run double.
Wasylak secured the bottom of the inning.
