ROUND ROCK - Welcome to the win column, Alberto Arias.
Vying for his first win of the season, Round Rock right-hander Alberto Arias (1-2) limited Memphis to one earned run on three hits, a walk and a strikeout over five innings and Jeremy Johnson allowed one more run over four innings of relief as the Express picked up its sixth win, 6-2, at The Dell Diamond.
Edwin Maysonet and Brian Bogusevic each doubled twice against the Redbirds, scoring four runs between them, and Mark Saccomanno and Edwin Maysonet both collected a pair of hits. John Gall also kept his streak alive, reaching base for the 14th consecutive home game dating back to April 9.

After Memphis trimmed the lead to 3-2 on a pair of hits and an Express error in the sixth, Round Rock responded with three more runs in the bottom of the frame. Saccomanno singled to start the inning and Maysonet followed up with a double. Yordany Ramirez was hit by a pitch by starter Adam Ottavino. An out later, Brian Esposito hammered out a 2-run single. Johnson drove in the game's final run with a force out.
The two teams meet in the third of the current four-game set Monday at 7:05 p.m. at The Dell Diamond.
