The bullpen would have his back with Jake Latz being the first guy called upon. He threw two great innings with only one hit against him while striking out three. It shouldn't take too long for him to make it back to the major leagues.
Jose Ruiz threw a scoreless inning with one hit and one strikeout. Craig Kimbrel would get the save with a clean inning with no hits or walks and one strikeout.
The one run that the Express got on the board came in the fourth inning off the bat of Richie Martin who brought Trevor Hauver in. He had two hits. Cody Freeman led the team with three hits as he went 3 for 3. Freeman is a candidate to get called up soon if the Rangers want a spark or see themselves on the outside looking in.
