Gradillo Lifts Express to 7-3 Triumph
The Round Rock Express trumped the Iowa Cubs, 7-3, at Principal Park. Round Rock third baseman José Gradillo was terrific. He went 3-4 with a home run and 2 triples. He scored 3 runs and drove in 2. Jhoan Duran picked up the win, lifting his record to 5-1 on the season. He struck out 3 and walked 2 in 5.2 innings, while yielding 3 runs. Enyerbeth Lugo, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 6th save.

Joe Sherman had a big solo home run for the Express in the top of the first inning. With Round Rock leading 1-0 and the bases empty, he sized up a slider from Jon Cameron, who is tied for 2nd in the AC in wins with 11, and punished it. The result was his 7th home run of the season, which put the Express on top, 2-0.

"I think it speaks for itself, I think we came out and we played our kind of baseball," said Sherman.

The Express win now puts them at 54-61.
