Cody Freeman’s Three-Homer Game Ignites Express at Cheney Stadium
Cody Freeman smashed three home runs at Cheney Stadium on July 27, 2025, stealing the show for the Express
Cody Freeman stole the show for the Round Rock Express on July 27, 2025, crushing three home runs in an 8-1 rout of the Tacoma Rainiers (Mariners). The third baseman became just the 10th player in Express history to hit three homers in a single game.
Big-League Taste
Freeman’s big game comes on the heels of his MLB debut with the Rangers on July 18, 2025, against the Detroit Tigers, where he pinch-ran for Kyle Higashioka and scored on a Corey Seager two-run double. In four big-league games, he went 1-for-7 (.143/.143/.286/.429) with his first MLB RBI before being optioned to Round Rock on July 25 when Sam Haggerty was activated. Back in Triple-A, Freeman showed his power in a big way.
Cody's 3-HR Game Recap
Hitting: Freeman got the Express rolling with a solo homer in the first for a 1-0 lead. The Rainiers answered in the bottom half, tying it 1-1 when Samad Taylor doubled, Leo Rivas walked, Tyler Locklear was hit by a pitch, and Leody Taveras grounded out to score Taylor.
In the third, Blaine Crim’s double and Justin Foscue’s double gave Round Rock a 2-1 edge, followed by Freeman’s second homer for a 4-1 lead.
His third blast in the fifth, a first-pitch shot to left, pushed it to 5-1. Frainyer Chavez’s pinch-hit single in the eighth scored Billy McKinney for a 6-1 lead, and Trevor Hauver and Richie Martin added RBI singles in the ninth for the 8-1 final.
Pitching: RHP Trey Supak started on the hill for the Express, tossing 4.1 innings and allowing 1 run on 3 hits, 1 walk, and 1 strikeout on 67 pitches (46 strikes).
The bullpen—RHP Aidan Anderson, LHP Robby Ahlstrom, RHP Josh Sborz, RHP Joe Barlow, and RHP Craig Kimbrel—was lights-out, holding the Rainiers scoreless on two hits with no walks over the final 4.2 innings.
Freeman’s epic game at Cheney Stadium has Rangers fans pumped for him. He finished 3-for-5 with 3 HR and 4 RBI. Keep it locked on The Prospect Times for more updates on Freeman and Rangers prospects.
