The Round Rock Express trailed 4-1 in the third inning Tuesday afternoon before scoring five unanswered runs to come back and beat the El Paso Chihuahuas 6-4. It was the opener of a six-game series at Dell Diamond.

El Paso center fielder Jase Bowen hit the first pitch of the game over the left-center field fence. It was Bowen's team-leading fourth homer and the first time the Chihuahuas led off a first inning with a home run since Tim Locastro in a home game against Albuquerque on September 14, 2025. Left fielder Clay Dungan also homered for El Paso as part of a 3-for-4 game and he has six hits in his last three games.

San Diego Padres pitcher Yuki Matsui threw a scoreless seventh inning on MLB Injury Rehab. Round Rock's bullpen set down the final eight El Paso batters. The Chihuahuas have dropped seven of their last eight games. 

Team Records: El Paso (6-10), Round Rock (5-11)
