Rocker Has Another Good Start for Round Rock

Kumar Rocker made his Second appearance for Triple-A Round Rock on Friday night where he faced the Las Vegas Aviators Although it wasn't as dominant as his first start, he was still plenty dominant in the outing showcasing his abilities.

Mission accomplished: Hans Crouse AA debut

One of the Texas Rangers top pitching prospects, right-hander Hans Crouse made his AA debut for the Frisco RoughRiders.
