ROUND ROCK - The Express rallied late, but the Sounds rallied later as Nashville handed Round Rock its sixth consecutive loss Monday.

Trailing 4-1 in the bottom of the sixth, the Express put up for runs behind two doubles, two singles and a walk. But Nashville answered back with two runs against reliever Jose Rodriguez in the next frame, riding out a 6-5 win at The Dell Diamond.

Jesse Garcia finished 2-for-4 with two runs, Mark Saccomanno drove in three runs and Hunter Pence went 1-for-4 with a run and an RBI in his final Triple-A rehabilitation appearance. Right-hander Chad Reineke worked four scoreless innings but allowed three in the fifth inning of a no-decision.

For the second consecutive night, Jesse Gacia led the bottom of the first off with a solo home run, giving Round Rock an early 1-0 lead.

Express starter Chad Reineke shut the Sounds down through four innings before Mike Rivera knotted the game with a lead-off homer in the fifth. A pair of singles, an out and a walk later, Reineke was replaced with left-hander Philip Barzilla, who watched two runs score on a ground out and a single.
