*In Texas League action, our very own Lance Cormier picked up the W in his first start of the season for the El Paso Diablos, a 7-inning effort in which he shut down the Round Rock Express, allowing just a single run on five hits.
*Jeremy Brown blasted his first homerun of the season last weekend for the Midland RockHounds. Brown, the Hounds' starter behind the plate, will be serving as the team's DH on the days he does not catch.
*Beau Hearod is off to a hot start for the Class A Lexington Legends, with 6 hits in his first 12 at bats.
