Express reliever Daniel Robert (3-3) earned the win,  throwing two hitless innings with two strikeouts. Space Cowboys reliever Nick Hernandez (4-5) endured the loss, allowing all four Round Rock runs to score on three hits and one walk during in one inning of work. 

Round Rock waited until the seventh inning to open the scoring.  Josh Jung opened the inning with a single to left field, but wasn’t on base long as Meibrys Viloria sent the first pitch over the right center field wall.  Andy Ibanez followed, drawing a walk and score two batter later on Davis Wendzel’s long ball to left center field.
