Francisco Mejía is red-hot, and just in time for the playoffs.

The third-ranked Padres prospect churned out his second four-hit game of the season -- the first since his trade from Cleveland on July 19 -- and homered for the fifth time in 10 contests Sunday as Triple-A El Paso knocked off Tacoma, 9-4, at Southwest University Park.

The switch-hitter's other four-hit game came on June 29 for Columbus in the International League.

Since the trade -- which netted the Indians relievers Brad Hand and Adam Cimber -- Mejia is batting .322. After hitting seven homers in 305 at-bats for Columbus, he's gone deep seven times in 118 at-bats for El Paso.

Mejia's blast on Sunday was his fifth in nine games. The Chihuahuas totaled 17 hits, with Carlos Asuaje collecting three and Ty France , Allen Craig , Auston Bousfield and Dusty Coleman each chipping in a pair.

Gameday box score

Padres No. 10 prospect Cal Quantrill (3-1) allowed one run on six hits over five innings for the win, striking out three without issuing a walk.

El Paso got off to a quick start, scoring three times in each of the first two innings, with Mejia a driving force. His first-inning single plated Bousfield and he homered off left-hander David Rollins in the second, a line drive to left that scored Javy Guerra , who doubled.

Mejia lined another single to start the fourth and, after grounding out in the sixth, laced a double to center in the eighth that scored Bousfield.

Rollins (0-3) surrendered seven runs on 12 hits and two walks with four strikeouts in 3 2/3 innings.

El Paso plays its regular-season finale Monday and opens the Pacific Coast League semifinals against Fresno on Wednesday.
