Rangers Announce July Minor League Award Winners
Blaine Crim - Player of the Month The 27-year-old 1st basemen really found his swing in July slashing a whopping .453/.561/.656. Going up to bat and getting on base better than once every 2 at bats is an astonishing stat in today’s game. He also added in 9 XBH driving in 15 along the way. Another stat to highlight is that he walked 17 times and only struck out 11. If the bat stays hot in August I wouldn’t be shocked if we see him as a September call-up this year. Mitch Bratt - Starter of the M

RoughRiders get their 9th shutout victory
The Frisco RoughRiders used four pitchers to combine for a two-hit shutout victory last night. It was their 9th shutout win of the season. Frisco starter Tim Brennan (W, 5-3) pitched 6 scoreless innings, allowing only 1 hit and striking out 3 on 58 total pitches: 41 strikes to 17 balls. In August in two starts Tim has a 2-0 win-loss record. He's allowed one run in 12 innings pitched 7 hits, ZERO walks and 5 strikeouts. This also makes two quality starts in a row for Tim Brennan. Brennan got
Jack Leiter earns his 1st win
Jack Leiter earned his 1st win of the season after pitching a season-high six innings. The RoughRiders pitching staff put together a complete game shutout for the first time this season as the RoughRiders win 5-0 and move to 16-10. None of that is possible without first acknowledging the brilliant start from Jack Leiter. A season-high in innings and also his 1st without any runs given up, whether earned or unearned. For me the biggest key is that he issued no walks. He only issued a 3-ball counRoughRiders lose but Cardinals help keep 1/2 game lead

RoughRiders dropped both games of DH in Amarillo
The Frisco RoughRiders dropped both games of their double-header to the Amarillo Sod Poodles at Hodgetown. The first game featured plenty of runs for both teams but the RoughRiders lost on a walk-off in 7 innings by a final of 10-9 and that dropped them to 62-52 on the season. Not to alarm anyone but as of now, the RoughRiders are not in the post-season as they sit a 1/2 game behind the Arkansas Travelers BUT they have four games left to play. Left-hander Cody Bradford (3.89) toed the rubber f
RoughRiders start last home series with a loss
The Frisco RoughRiders lost 12-7 to the San Antonio Missions. It's definitely not the way they wanted to start their last series at home. On the Mound Left-hander Cole Ragans took the mound to start for the RoughRiders. It definitely wasn't his best outing. He pitched three innings and allowed three earned runs on four hits, three walks and four strikeouts. Even though the Missions had the 3-1 lead after three innings, Ragans wasn't tagged with the loss. Right-hander Grant Anderson (6.75) w
Zak Kent solid but RoughRiders lose on 80's night
Frisco, Texas- A crowd of 9,062 fans filled the seats at Riders Field on 80's night. Unfortunately, the RoughRiders lost 2-1 to the Travelers in what turned out to be a rather low-scoring affair. On the mound Right-hander Zak Kent took the mound for the RoughRiders. It was his home debut and he didn't disappoint. He pitched 5 shutout innings, allowing 5 hits, 2 walks and striking out 7. His earned run average dropped from 1.50 to 0.82 in his two games with the RoughRiders. I didn't look at th
Cody Bradford earned his 1st AA Win
Left-handed pitcher Cody Bradford earned his 1st AA win. The RoughRiders won by a final of 8-0 over the Arkansas Travelers and move to 53-37 on the season. On the mound Cody Bradford pitched a heck of a game and had the longest outing of any RoughRider this season. His seven shutout innings also helped the RoughRiders avoid a four-game losing streak, which would have been a season-high. During his seven innings he threw 81 pitches/65 for strikes and allowed 4 hits, 1 BB and struckout 9. It re
