FRISCO, TEXAS - The Frisco RoughRiders, the Double-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers, came up short Tuesday night, falling 5-3 to the Midland RockHounds in the series finale at Dr Pepper Ballpark.
The Riders (23-8) trailed 3-0 after Midland (19-13) scored three runs in the third inning. Frisco rallied for two unearned runs against Midland starter Raul Alcantara (3-1). Kellin Deglan hit an RBI triple, his first three-bagger of the season, which drove in Alberto Triunfel. Deglan scored the second run of the frame on Ryan Cordell's RBI single to center field.
