FRISCO, Texas (July 18, 2026) - Behind fourth-inning home runs from Dylan Dreiling and Yeison Morrobel, the Frisco RoughRiders found revenge in a 4-3 win over the Tulsa Drillers to even the series at one game apiece Saturday at Riders Field.
Frisco (11-9, 49-38) welcomed Cody Bradford back for his first rehab start at Riders Field and watched the lefty mow down Tulsa (12-8, 58-31) across two scoreless innings with four strikeouts. Bryan Magdaleno (3-1) took over after with a shutdown third inning.
After Driller starter Adam Serwinowski (7-3) retired the first seven RoughRiders he faced, Frisco got a double from Max Wagner down the left field line and another two batters later from Frainyer Chavez for a 1-0 lead in the third inning.
In the fourth, Frisco tagged Serwinowski for three more runs, as Dreiling belted a leadoff home run to center field and Morrobel followed with a two-run shot to left that made it 4-0.
After Zyhir Hope homered off Dalton Pence and Tulsa cut the deficit to 4-2 after six innings, Pence pitched a scoreless seventh and finished with just one earned run allowed across four relief innings with five strikeouts.
Hope’s second home run of the day made it 4-3 in the eighth, but Cole Stasio put the game on ice for his first Double-A save of the season.
Notes to Know:
- Dreiling’s home run broke a tie with Chavez and Wagner for the team lead at 13 and extended his hitting streak to seven games.
- Morrobel’s homer was the first in his Double-A career and 15th on the season between High-A Hub City and Frisco to extend a career high.
