Round Rock Express News: July 19 - July 25, 2024

The Round Rock Express, the Triple-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers, has had a mixed bag of results over the past week. The team has shown flashes of brilliance but also faced some tough challenges. Here's a breakdown of their recent performances:

Winning Streak Snapped

The Express had a four-game winning streak going into their recent series against the Albuquerque Isotopes. Unfortunately, that streak was snapped on Thursday, July 25, as they fell to the Isotopes 6-4 at Isotopes Park. Round Rock starter RHP Owen White took the loss, allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk over six innings. Despite a strong showing from SS Ezequiel Duran, who hit his third home run in as many games, the Express couldn't quite catch up to the Isotopes.

Previous Successes

Before the loss to Albuquerque, the Express had some notable victories. They secured their 800th win under manager Doug Davis with a thrilling 7-6 win over the Reno Aces. This milestone win showcased the team's resilience and ability to come from behind.

Additionally, the Express had a strong series against the Sugar Land Space Cowboys, splitting the six games. They battled back for a 9-7 victory in extras and also handed the Space Cowboys their first shutout of the season with a 1-0 win.

Standout Performances

Several players have stood out for the Express over the past week. Ezequiel Duran's home run streak is certainly a highlight, making him the first Express player to hit a home run in three consecutive games this season. CF Dustin Harris also had a multi-hit night, going 2-for-4 with one run scored.
