Bryan De La Cruz drove in both Skeeters runs. He provided a sacrifice fly to score Alex De Goti in the first and launched a prodigious solo home run in the sixth inning. De La Cruz has hit four of his seven home runs this year against Round Rock.

Hector Velazquez made his first start of the season and allowed a run on four hits, while striking out four, through four innings.

Round Rock right-hander Jimmy Herget received the winning decision, with a scoreless ninth inning. The Express scored their other run on the night when Ryan Dorow came around on a wild pitch in the fourth inning.
