DIVISION STANDINGS UPDATE
Round Rock (70-50, .583) extended its lead to 10 games over Albuquerque (60-60, .500) in the American Southern Division standings.

Round Rock has at least shared the division lead following 98 of 120 games this season and has led the division outright since June 25.

MAGIC NUMBER: 15
Entering tonight's game, Round Rock's magic number for clinching the PCL American Southern Division title is 15. The magic number represents the number of Express wins or Albuquerque losses necessary to clinch the division title. The earliest Round Rock can clinch the title is Aug. 20 vs. New Orleans.
JONES APPROACHING MILESTONE
Express manager Bobby Jones enters tonight's game with 1,499 career managerial wins - all of which have come in the Texas Rangers organization. His tally includes stints with Class-A Charlotte (1988-1990), Double-A Tulsa (1991-1992, 1996-2000), Triple-A Oklahoma City (1993-1994, 2002-2010) and Round Rock. Jones' most successful season at the Triple-A level was 2004 when he led Oklahoma City to 81 wins and the PCL American Southern Division title. He owns 12 division titles and guided the 1998 Tulsa squad to a Texas League championship.
