Jordan Brewer scored for the Hooks in in the sixth. After being hit by a pitch, Brewer stole second, advanced to third on Jeremy Arocho's single, before peddling in via a ground out from Pascanel Ferreras.

Alimber Santa absorbed the setback in his Double-A debut, permitting four runs on three hits and two walks while recording three outs. Much of the damage came on Frisco's first grand slam of the year, struck against Brayan De Paula.
