FRISCO, Texas - Evan Carter tripled and homered and the Frisco RoughRiders never trailed to the San Antonio Missions in a 6-2 win at Riders Field on Tuesday.

Carter tripled in the first inning to take the lead, scoring Luisangel Acuña after Acuña's double. The Riders (8-8, 39-45) snapped a two-game streak without an extra base hit by recording two in the first inning on Tuesday and three on the night. San Antonio (6-10, 43-42) notched just one extra base hit and no multiple-run innings.

Carter led off the fifth inning with a homer, added two walks and equaled a career high by scoring three times. The 20-year-old has torched San Antonio this season, going 26-for-61 (.426) with five home runs.

Dane Acker (1-0) made his third start with the RoughRiders and collected his first win. He lasted five innings with just two hits allowed and one run. Ryan Bergert (0-1) took the loss for San Antonio, charged with four runs in three innings.

Nick Starr struck out a pair in a scoreless sixth inning as the first of four Frisco relievers, who combined to go four innings with one run allowed. Matt Bush and Michael Brewer did not allow a hit to finish off the final two innings.

Chris Seise and Aaron Zavala both recorded three hits for the first time this season for the Riders. They did so on back-to-back pitches in the eighth inning. Zavala also picked up a two-out RBI when he singled in the fourth inning to bring home Josh Hatcher.

All nine Riders hitters reached base at least once, combining for 10 hits, five walks and three hit batters.

Frisco is now 10-9 against San Antonio this season by winning the first game of this series, which is the fourth and final series of the regular season against the Missions.
