Pitcher Kyle Friedrichs
(6 IP / 2 H / 0 ER / 2 BB / 4K / Win)
RHP Kyle Friedrichs turned in an outstanding start to help the RockHounds record their third win in their last four games on Saturday. The 29-year-old righty allowed just 2 hits over 6 shutout innings to earn the win for Midland, and Friedrichs has now allowed two or fewer runs in three of his last four starts for the Hounds. RHP Montana DuRapau tossed 2 scoreless innings in relief, while RHP Nick Highberger gave up 4 runs in the 9th to break up the shutout. Third baseman Jonah Bride singled, walked and drove in 3 runs, while second baseman Max Schuemann drew a walk and singled in a run for the RockHounds.
