The Round Rock Express won 5-1 over the Sugar Land Space Cowboys (Houston Astros affiliate), thanks to steong relief pitching after starter Caleb Boushley’s brief outing. Boushley pitched 2 innings, allowing 3 hits, 1 walk, and 3 strikeouts on 39 pitches (24 strikes). Nolan Hoffman (W, 2-0) took over, delivering 2.2 innings with 1 hit, 3 walks, and 3 strikeouts. Peyton Gray (H, 1), recently promoted from Frisco where he went 3-0 with a 2.25 ERA, pitched 2.1 innings, allowing 1 hit, 2 walks, and 2 strikeouts. The 29-year-old has appeared in 8 games this season, showcasing his reliability in the Express bullpen.

## Crim’s Milestone Homer

In the top of the 7th, with the Express leading 2-0, Blaine Crim smashed a 3-run home run—his 7th of the season—extending the lead to 5-0\. Crim, who went 1-for-5, became the 9th player in Round Rock history to reach 200 RBIs, cementing his place in the franchise’s record books.

## Duran, Carter, and Strahm Contribute

Ezequiel Duran led the offense, going 3-for-4 with a double and 2 stolen bases (his 4th). Evan Carter went 2-for-5, including a hit off a left-handed pitcher with a 102 mph exit velocity—his first hit against a lefty this season. Kellen Strahm, going 1-for-3, scored 2 runs and swiped 3 bases (his 10th), adding speed and dynamism to the Express’ attack.
