Majewski & Sadler Go Deep 2X for RR, Salem Shut Out, Dydalewicz Signed & Headed to G’ville
Round Rock got two homers each from Val Majewski and Ray Sadler in their 16-1 shellacking of Fresno.
“We picked some good pitches and got some swings on his fastball in the zone,” said Majewski, who has been with the Express for a week after a promotion from Double-A Corpus Christi. “I just want to get some good swings and do what I can to keep myself in the lineup.”

2 of 3 from the fucking Cubs. 0 of 3 from the Pirates. 4 straight losses. But, fear not my friends, starting Sunday the season is saved even though the Brewers just completed a 4 game sweep of the 3rds and have won 8 in a row including all 7 games after the ASB. Be. Leive.

On a day when the Astros increased their playoff hopes with an infectious blend of delusional optimism and poorly-timed e-mail blasts, they also managed to pack up their shit and move into the Central basement, where they are free to remove their pants and holler up to the rest of the division to send down some fucking meatloaf.
The two teams’ starters combined for a robust 5.1 total innings and 11 runs, while the bullpens were just OK enough to keep the differential at 1 run in favor of the Pirates for the eventual sweep.

They traded runs in the second and third, the Astros tied it up with 1 in the fourth, the Pyroots pulled away again with 2 in the seventh, and Houston answered with 1 in the bottom, but that was it. I’d document the whole thing, but I think this does a better job:
