The Space Cowboys pieced together just enough offense to get past the Express, winning 3-1 behind Trenton Brooks' two-hit, one-homer night. The Express put up a fight with limited run support, and Aidan Curry's arm kept them in it despite the loss. Space Cowboys improved to 63-55 while the Express fell to 55-64. The clubs meet again Sunday.
Brooks went 2-for-4 with a home run and drove in a run to lead the Space Cowboys' attack. The Space Cowboys outhit the Express 7-4, a modest edge that proved decisive in the low-scoring affair.
The Space Cowboys are losers of 4 straight, 4-6 over their last 10. The Express are coming off a loss, 7-3 over their last 10.
The Space Cowboys are up next at Aviators (Aug 27-29). The Express are up next home vs Isotopes (Aug 27-29).
Ranked by win probability added: how far each player's plays moved this game's odds, not how their box-score line reads. A single with the bases loaded in the ninth outranks a home run in a blowout, because that is what actually decided it.
Runs by inning across the top, then every batter and pitcher underneath. The pills switch clubs; the totals column is each side’s own line, not a comparison.
