Sugar Land Space Cowboys News Release


(SUGAR LAND, Texas) - Lewis Brinson delivered a grand slam and RBI triple Wednesday night at Constellation Field as the Sugar Land Space Cowboys defeated the El Paso Chihuahuas, 9-5.

Brinson's grand slam was the second for the Space Cowboys this season and helped them even the six-game series at 1-1.

The RBI triple from Brinson, which one-hopped the right-field wall, came as part of a five-run third. David Hensley got the third-run outburst started with an RBI double. Corey Julks followed with a two-run double, and Enmanuel Valdez added an RBI single to go with Brinson's run-scoring triple.

Julks extended his hitting streak to 19 games, which is the longest active streak in Minor League Baseball and the longest overall streak from a Triple A player this season. It is tied for the third-longest overall streak from an MiLB player in 2022.

Brinson's grand slam came in the fifth, giving him 13 home runs on the season. He joined Julks as the two Space Cowboys with grand slams this year.

Hunter Brown - rated as the No. 86 prospect in baseball by MLB.com - got the start and struck out five through five innings, allowing two runs (one earned) with one walk. Brown leads the PCL with a 2.38 ERA, 97 strikeouts and a .186 opponent's batting average, is second with a 1.11 WHIP and tied for second with six wins.

El Paso jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the third on a sacrifice fly from Taylor Kohlwey and RBI single from Luis Campusano. Eguy Rosario went 2-for-4, including a solo home run in the sixth.

The Space Cowboys will turn to Peter Solomon for game three of the series at 7:05 p.m. on Thursday at Constellation Field. El Paso is scheduled to start lefty Ryan Weathers.
