Triple-A pitching? Not a problem for Luis Urias.The Padres’ second baseman of the (not-too-distant) future hit three home runs in Triple-A El Paso’s 10-6 win at Las Vegas, Urias’ second straight multi-homer game. Six of Urias’ seven homers have come since he returned to El Paso on Sunday. The 21-year-old infielder was 2-for-24 in the majors before the Padres returned him to the Pacific Coast League, but is hitting .400 after homering in his first three at-bats Sunday. Urias’ three homers on Sunday – the first ever by an El Paso player – accounted for six RBIs, pushing his total to 12. He homered twice in Saturday’s win and is already one shy of matching the career-best eight he logged last year at El Paso.Urias also walked twice Sunday, lifting his batting line to .391/.462/.978 through his first 10 games with El Paso. Michael Gettys (.284) also collected three hits and Matthew Batten (.345) and Peter Van Gansen (.389) each had two hits. … [Read more...] about Minors: Luis Urias hits three homers in El Paso win

Trump Heads to El Paso amid Stalled Wall Negotiations, Texas Lawmakers Propose State Wall Funding
Two Texas statehouse members will soon introduce legislation funding President Donald Trump’s planned border wall along the U.S. border with Mexico — specifically the Texas border — Breitbart News has learned. State Reps. Kyle Biedermann and Briscoe Cain intend to introduce legislation soon that would fund $2.5 billion of wall construction along the Texas border with Mexico, appropriating it from the economic stabilization fund for the state fiscal year ending August 31, 2019. The funds would be used, Biedermann tells Breitbart News, “to design, test, construct, and install physical barriers, roads, and technology along the international land border between the State of Texas and Mexico to prevent illegal crossings in all areas.”Preference for the contracts and awarding of bids, Biedermann added, “for all phases of construction” would be given to Texans and Texas-owned entities. While this idea is still novel and untested, given the fact that … [Read more...] about Trump Heads to El Paso amid Stalled Wall Negotiations, Texas Lawmakers Propose State Wall Funding

El Paso, Texas residents to drink treated sewage water due to climate change drought
The people of El Paso, Texas, are resilient. Living in the middle of the harsh Chihuahuan Desert, the city has no other choice. On average, 15 days every year spike over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The city gets little relief with annual rainfall of just about 9 inches. It's one of the hottest cities in the country.One of its prime sources of water is the Rio Grande. Typically the river can supply as much as half of the city's water needs. But climate change is making that increasingly difficult and is pushing the city to look for new sources of water. Now, El Paso is on track to become the first large city in the United States to treat its sewage water and send it directly back into its taps.Increasing temperatures will make the dry region even more vulnerable to drought, according to the federal government's most recentnational climate assessment. Already challenged with balancing the demands of about 700,000 thirsty El Pasoans along with agriculture and industry needs, El Paso must also … [Read more...] about El Paso, Texas residents to drink treated sewage water due to climate change drought
