Sugar Land got on the board scoring a run in the 2nd inning on a Strahm RBI single and a run in the 3rd on an Alexander solo HR. Pecko got the start and was great tossing 3 scoreless innings with 6 strikeouts but left after 3 due to possible cramps. In the 5th, Nelson added a solo home run to extend the lead. The offense got some more insurance with 2 runs in the 8th on an error. The pen allowed a couple of runs but held on for the 5-2 win.
Note: Nelson is hitting .326 in Triple-A.
