Sugar Land Space Cowboys News Release

THREE'S COMPANY: Enmanuel Valdez became the third player in Sugar Land franchise history with a three-homer game Wednesday in Round Rock, hitting three solo homers in the Space Cowboys win. The other two players to accomplish the feat were Jake Meyers (6/20/21, at El Paso) and Jeremy Peña (9/21/21, vs. Albuquerque). Valdez has hit five homers through his first eight games with the Space Cowboys since being assigned from Double A Corpus Christi. Valdez leads all Astros minor leaguers and is tied for ninth of all players in Minor League Baseball with 16 total home runs.

STREAKING: The Space Cowboys have won six games in a row, matching their longest winning streak in franchise history. They also won six straight games from 5/20/21 - 5/28/21. The six-game streak is tied with High A Palm Beach for the longest in all of Minor League Baseball. Three of the wins in the current streak came in a sweep of Las Vegas, which sits atop the standings in the Pacific Coast League Western Division.

BLANCO FUEGO: Ronel Blanco has allowed just two runs (one earned) over his last 10 appearances (10 IP). He's collected saves in two of his last three outings. He's tied for the Pacific Coast League lead with three saves in June.

SWEET LEW: Lewis Brinson hit his 11th homer of the year Thursday in Round Rock. He's sixth in the Pacific Coast League with a .541 slugging percentage.
