Midland RockHounds vs San Antonio Missions — Sep 5, 2026
September 5 · 8:05 PM EDT
What to look for
RockHounds and Missions meet with both teams struggling down the stretch. Midland has the pitching advantage with Ben Hansen taking the mound. Hansen's 2.70 ERA and 1.10 WHIP give Midland a clear advantage in the box. Yost comes in at 4.20 ERA with a 1.36 WHIP, meaning San Antonio's starter figures to work deeper into counts and leave more in the zone for the RockHounds to attack.
- Luke Mann powers the Midland lineup with 14 home runs, but the Missions counter with a more balanced offensive edge. Braedon Karpathios has 17 homers and 69 RBIs to lead San Antonio, a dual-threat presence that keeps pressure on throughout the order.
- Both teams are trending downward, but Midland enters with the better recent record. The RockHounds' pitching advantage may be the difference if their bats can stay disciplined against Yost and force him to work.
