Corpus Christi Hooks at Frisco RoughRiders
First Pitch: 7:05 PM CST | FRISCO, TX
The Frisco RoughRiders wrap up their pre–All-Star break homestand with a showdown against the Corpus Christi Hooks. Tonight’s first pitch starts at 7:05 p.m. CST.
Frisco (45‑41) is looking to build momentum after their dominant 9–1 win over the Amarillo Sod Poodles on Sunday, powered by Trey Supak’s six‑inning gem and a timely offensive burst from Chavez, Hatcher, and Ortiz. Their bats have been hot—Frisco homered in six of their last seven games.
Corpus Christi, the Houston Astros’ Double-A affiliate, enters town aiming to regroup after a midweek skid but brings a lineup fortified by young talent eager to make an impact.
Tonight’s Pitching Matchup:
-
Frisco: RHP Trey Supak (6‑3, 2.55 ERA) looks to continue his stellar form from Sunday while keeping his team ahead in the young second-half standings.
-
Corpus Christi: RHP Rodrigo Amador (4‑4, 4.20 ERA) will make his club debut, offering the Hooks a fresh arm and a reset point after inconsistency at the top of their rotation.
What to Watch:
-
Frisco’s lineup has turned heads recently, with Ortiz and Chavez combining for four RBIs in Sunday’s win. Will they continue their recent power surge tonight?
-
Supak’s ability to suppress runs early gives Frisco’s bullpen flexibility—keep an eye on relievers Carrillo and Lobus, both pitching strong behind him.
-
Corpus’s offense includes several top Astros prospects still mastering plate discipline; how they handle Supak’s sinker-arm will be key.
Fun Fact: Frisco has homered in five of its last six games—power could again be the difference.
