RR home runs: Derek Fisher (10, 3-run in 1st), Jack Mayfield (14, solo in 5th), Josh Rojas (15, walk-off 3-run in 10th)

The Cubs thought that they were going to steal one from the Express (doing business as the Chupacabras) when they scored three in the 9th to tie and one in the 10th to take the lead. Yeah, they thought.

Brendan McCurry was the first man out of the Round Rock bullpen and he allowed three hits and struck out one over two scoreless. Felipe Paulino couldn't get the last out of the game.

CC home runs: Seth Beer (21, solo in 3rd), Colton Shaver (12, 2-run in 3rd), Lorenzo Quintana (11, grand slam in 8th)

The Hooks took this series in emphatic fashion as they poured it on the Hounds early and often.

Brett Adcock pitched 3.2 innings and allowed a run on four hits, walked one, and struck out four. Yohan Ramirez was the first man out of the Corpus bullpen and he turned in 3.1 scoreless innings, allowing a hit, walking one, and striking out four.

Sanabria got two groundouts and a fly ball out in a 1-2-3 9th.

J.J. Matijevic ripped a two-run double in the 1st to open the scoring. Corpus blew this game open with six runs in the 3rd and all of them came with two outs. Seth Beer kept the inning alive by launching a solo homer. Lorenzo Quintana followed with a single and he scored on a single from Matijevic. Colton Shaver followed with a two-run blast and then Aníbal Sierra and Bryan de la Cruz capped off the onslaught with RBI singles.

Shaver added an RBI single to his ledger in the 7th and Quintana provided the cherry with a grand slam in the 8th inning. Beer, Quintana, and Matijevic all finished with three hits. Everyone except Sierra scored; everyone in the lineup had a hit except for Abraham Toro, who still managed to score a run.

The Hooks have Monday off. They'll welcome the Northwest Arkansas Naturals to the Coastal Bend for a three-game series starting Tuesday.

RR home runs: Taylor Jones (16, 3-run in 4th)

The E-Train went off with eight in the 4th as they avoided the sweep in Oklahoma.

Brandon Bielak turned in six solid innings of one-run ball. He allowed four hits, one of which was a solo homer, walked one, and struck out eight.

Taylor Jones led off the 4th with an infield single. Drew Ferguson flew out, but Chas McCormick singled and Nick Tanielu walked to load the bases for Garrett Stubbs... who popped out in foul territory. It all fell to Jamie Ritchie, who came through with a two-run single and then an error on the play allowed Tanielu to score. Ritchie advanced to third on the play and he scored on a Josh Rojas single. Rojas stole second and then Alex De Goti joined him on the bases by drawing a walk. Jack Mayfield brought Rojas home with a double and in his second plate appearance of the inning, Jones clubbed a three-run home run. Rojas walked to lead off the 8th; he advanced on a balk and scored the final run of the day on a double from Jones.

Rojas finished 2-5 with a stolen base and scored three times. Ritchie also had two hits on the afternoon and Jones finished a triple shy of the cycle, driving in four.

The start of this week is the Triple-A All-Star break. The 2019 Triple-A All-Star Game will take place on Wednesday in El Paso and pits the best of the Pacific Coast League against their counterparts from the International League. Kyle Tucker will represent the Express on the PCL team.

Happy birthday, America.

Let's finish up a game in the Gulf Coast League so they can play another one.

All pitcher records and save totals and player home run totals will be cumulative going forward.

Oklahoma City 13, Round Rock 7

W- Daniel Corcino (6-3)
L- Rogelio Armenteros (3-6)
S- Kevin Quackenbush (5)

RR home runs (season totals only): Jack Mayfield 2 (13; solo in 3rd, solo in 8th), Josh Rojas (14, solo in 1st)

The E-Train ran off five in the 8th to cut into a 10-1 deficit but the Dodgers put this game away with three in the bottom of the 8th.

Josh Rojas led off the game with a homer. Jack Mayfield led off the 3rd with a home run and the 8th with another homer. Mayfield's second homer sparked the rally as Chas McCormick hit a two-run single, Garrett Stubbs chipped in with a sac fly, and Rojas ripped a double. Rojas and Mayfield had three hits apiece in this one.

Rogelio Armenteros only lasted 1.2 innings and got roughed up. When four pitchers and a position player allow 13 runs... it probably wasn't a good night.

Tonight, the Express and Dodgers will play a doubleheader with game one starting at 4:35. This is to make up a game that was originally scheduled for April 30. Ryan Hartman will take on Mitchell White in game one.

S- Felipe Paulino (2)

RR home runs: None.

The E-Train scored three runs in the 9th to snatch this game from the Missions' grasp.

José Urquidy threw six shutout innings, allowing five hits, walking two, and striking out nine. Urquidy became the first pitcher in the system to strike out 100 batters this season. Ralph Garza Jr., Reymin Guduan, and Felipe Paulino all pitched an inning. Garza got the 7th and he allowed three hits, one of which was a two-run homer, and struck out two.

Quad Cities 7, Burlington 5

W- José Alberto Rivera (3-3)
L- Tyler Smith (5-2)

QC home runs: Jeremy Peña (5, solo in 3rd)

The Banditos took this game by withstanding a five-run 4th from the Bees and getting some Houdini-esque escapes from José Alberto Rivera on the mound.

José Bravo allowed five runs on seven hits and struck out seven in four innings of work. Rivera got the last five innings and allowed four hits, walked four, and struck out six. He got out of a bases-loaded, no out jam in the 6th unscathed and then stranded two runners in scoring position in the 7th. A caught stealing got Rivera out of the 8th and he managed to strand two runners to end the game.

Jeremy Peña opened the scoring by whacking a solo homer in the 3rd and Oscar Campos drove in another run by ripping an RBI double. Quad Cities scored three times in the 5th on a wild pitch that allowed Michael Wielansky to score, an Austin Dennis sac fly, and an RBI single from Campos. Peña scored on an error in the 7th and Alex McKenna drove in a run with a groundout in the 8th. Campos went 3-4 on the evening. Peña (solo HR, 3 R, SB) and Ross Adolph (2B, 2 R) both finished 2-4 on the night.

Felipe Tejada takes on Robinson Pina as this series shifts to the Quad Cities for the final two games. First pitch is at 6:35.

Game 1: Lowell 2, Tri-City 1 (8 innings)

W- Kris Jackson (2-0)
L- Hansel Paulino (1-1)

TC home runs: Preston Pavlica (1, solo in 7th)

The ValleyCats tied up game one with a run in the 7th... only to see the Spinners walk off with the victory after scoring in the first extra frame.

Preston Pavlica launched a solo homer in the 7th, his first pro home run, which ended up being the ValleyCats' only scoring play in this game. E.P. Reese and Nathan Perry had two hits apiece.

Jayson Schroeder went four innings and allowed a run on six hits, walked two, and struck out three. Miguel Figueroa was the first man out of the Tri-City bullpen in game one and he was excellent as he walked one and struck out three over three scoreless. Hansel Paulino allowed the game-winning hit, a single, to lead off the 8th.

Game 2: Lowell 7, Tri-City 0

W- Hildemaro Requena (2-0)
L- Christian Mejias (0-1)
S- Brendan Nail (2)

TC home runs: None.

The ValleyCats were swept in the doubleheader as they were shut out in game two.

All they got on offense in game two was a Juan Paulino single. Paulino also stole a base, his fourth of the season.

Christian Mejías went 3.2 innings and allowed a run on three hits, walked two, and struck out a career-high ten batters. Michael Horrell got Mejías out of a predicament to end the 4th and he went on to pitch 1.2 innings, allowing three runs (two earned, two inherited runners charged to him) on two hits, walking one, and striking out two. Shea Barry got the final two outs in the 6th inning and he allowed three unearned runs, a bases-clearing triple, and walked two. I think he'd like a do-over for his professional debut.

Angel Macuare gets the start in the series finale and he'll face Yusniel Padrón-Artilles at 7:05 Eastern.

GCL Mets 11, GCL Astros 6

W- Joshua Cornielly (1-0)

The Palm Beach 'Stros scored three in the top of the 8th to tie this game at 6... and then the Mets regained control by scoring five in the bottom of the 8th.

Brayan de Paula pitched four innings and allowed two runs on two hits (solo homer), walked two, and struck out four. Diosmerky Taveras was next and he allowed three runs (one earned) on three hits, walked two, and struck out two. Whit Drennan and Jherson Pereira both pitched an inning. Well, Drennan came on for the 8th but he failed to record an out in that inning. He allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits and struck out one. Jherson Pereira took ownership of the 8th and allowed four runs (one earned) a hit, walked two, and struck out one.

Nerio Rodriguez singled in the 1st and an error on the play allowed Colin Barber to score. Barber launched his first career home run in the 5th and Nerio followed with an RBI single. Nerio smacked a homer to lead off the 8th and then the GCL squad got two more runs in the inning as Yeuris Ramirez scored on an error following a Yefri Carrillo single.

W- Brandon Bielak (1-3, 4-3 season)
L- Trevor Clifton (2-7)
S- Felipe Paulino (1)

RR home runs: Josh Rojas (5, 13 season; grand slam in 6th)

A one-man show on offense was good enough for the E-Train as they took this five-game series from the Cubs.

Both teams put up five zeroes apiece until Josh Rojas clubbed a grand slam in the 6th inning to break the 0-0 tie. He added an RBI single in the 8th and Drew Ferguson drove in Round Rock's final run with an RBI single in the 9th. Rojas, Ferguson, and Taylor Jones finished with two hits on the afternoon; Rojas has now homered in four consecutive games.

Brandon Bielak was outstanding as he allowed just one hit, walked one, and struck out nine over seven shutout innings. The bullpen was a bit shaky but they were able to close it out. Kent Emanuel got two outs in the 8th, both via strikeout, but he also allowed three runs on three hits and walked two. Felipe Paulino got Round Rock out of the 8th with the lead and ended up pitching the 9th to get the save. He allowed two hits, one of which was a solo homer, and struck out one.

The E-Train is heading back down to Texas as they'll start a four-game set in San Antonio at 7:05.

GCL home runs: Yorbin Ceuta (1, 2-run in 2nd)

The Palm Beach Stros dropped their first game of 2019 a five-run 7th inning from the Marlins sent them to their doom.

Yorbin Ceuta drove in the GCL squad's first two runs of the year by launching a home run in the 2nd inning. Sean Mendoza walked to lead off the 3rd, advanced to third on a Ronaldo Urdaneta single, and stole home. Yefri Carrillo scored when José Álvarez grounded into a double play in the 6th. Álvarez ripped an RBI triple in the 8th and he wound up scoring on a wild pitch. He and Urdaneta both finished 2-4 on the afternoon.

Danny Cody got the last 2.1 innings, allowing a hit and striking out two. The one hit was a two-run single that resulted in both of Bello's runners scoring.

DSL Astros 10, DSL Athletics 2

W- Carlos Calderón (1-0)
L- Stiven Montilla (0-2)
