ON THE RECORD: 12-6 Home | 8-10 Road | 6-2-2 Series | 1-1 Sweeps | W 2 Streak | 3-2 Last 5 | 4-6 Last 10 MARTIN & JONES LEAD CHARGE: Houston area native Corbin Martin tossed 5.1 innings while allowing just an unearned run to pick up a win in Corpus Christi's 8-3 victory over Midland on Sunday afternoon at Whataburger Field. A crowd of 4,041 watched the Hooks secure a series victory in the four-game set against Midland. Martin struck out six batters while walking a pair. He tossed five scoreless frames to begin his outing before being charged a run in the sixth. The Hooks scored early and often, plating a trio of runs in the first inning against RockHounds lefty Jesus Luzardo. Taylor Jones began a four-hit day with an RBI double while Nick Tanielu brought in a pair of runs with a two-RBI double later in the frame.

CC extended the lead to 4-0 on Stephen Wrenn's run-scoring hit in the fourth, and Josh Rojas made it 5-0 with another RBI single in the fifth against Midland reliever Cody Stull. With two on in the sixth, Martin was replaced by lefty Sean Stutzman, who allowed an RBI single to Tyler Ramirez as Midland cut the deficit to 5-1. After the Hooks scored twice in the sixth, Midland left fielder Brett Sid- dall launched a two-run homer off Stutzman to make it 7-3. Jones responded with solo shot to left-center in the eighth. His sixth blast of the season gave Corpus Christi an 8-3 advantage. Erasmo Pinales tossed 2.1 shutout frames for the save. MISSIONS | TONIGHT’S PITCHING MATCHUP | HOOKS

ROSTER UPDATE: The Astros have promoted RHP Carlos Sierra to Corpus Christi from High-A Buies Creek. Sierra, who last appeared Friday at Myrtle Beach, went 1-1 with a 3.32 ERA in 10 Carolina League appearances. He was 2-for-2 in save chanc- es, and struck out 21 against 10 walks in 21.1 frames. The opposition batted .173 with 1 home run. A native of Sancti Spiritus, Cuba, Sierra permitted 4 earned runs on 7 hits and 3 walks in his last 4 appearances (8.2 IP). The 23-year-old pitched score- less ball 4 consecutive assignments from April 15-26. Sierra allowed just 1 hit during this 8.0 inning stretch.

Signed by the Astros as a non-drafted free agent in January 2016, Sierra went 3-2 with a 2.83 ERA in 29 appearances between Buies Creek and Quad Cities last year. He posted a 1.09 WHIP and allowed 4 home runs in 57.1 frames while averaging 9.4 strikeouts per 9 IP. Sierra pitched in 4 games for Sancti Spiritus of the Cuban National Series during the 2014-15 campaign at the age of 19.

LITTLE HAVANA: With the addition of Sierra, the Hooks now boast 5 players on their roster who hail from Cuba. LHP Cionel Perez and RHP Yoanys Quiala join Sierra on the pitching staff. Corpus Christi’s Cuban position players include C Lorenzo Quintana and OF Yordan Alvarez. Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel, who also hails from Sancti Spiritus, opened the season with the Hooks on a rehab assignment, and hit .429 with 4 doubles and 3 RBIs in 5 games.

ON THE OFFENSIVE: The Hooks secured their 6th series victory of the season by notching 32 runs on 50 hits over the course of the 4-game set with Midland. A total of 5 Hooks notched multi-hit performances Sunday, with 4 players driving in 2 runs. Cor- pus Christi has scored 8 runs or more in 13 of the 36 (36%) contests this season. The Hooks enter play today leading the Tex- as League in batting average (.291), runs (208), hits (367), doubles (80), steals (53), and on-base percentage (.369). Corpus Christi is averaging 5.9 runs per game.

SWING AND A MISS: Hooks hurlers racked up 51 strikeouts in 36 innings during the 4-game series vs. Midland. Corpus Christi pitchers punched out a season-high 16 Thursday, and followed that up with a 15-K performance Friday night. The pitch- ing staff is breezing 9.6 batters per game, and currently rank 2nd in the Texas League with 343 strikeouts. San Antonio leads the pack at 360.

SPEED THRILLS: Sunday marked the first time in 6 games Corpus Christi failed to record a stolen base. The Hooks have the most stolen bases in the Minor Leagues, swiping 53 bags in 71 attempts for a 75% success rate.

OF Myles Straw continues to pace all MiLB base-stealers with 21 thefts. Straw, who was caught for just the 4th time yesterday afternoon, is on pace to rack up 82 steals this year, which would shatter Corpus Christi’s single-season standard of 54, achieved by Delino DeShields, Jr. in 2014.

OF Stephen Wrenn ranks 2nd on the club and 3rd in the Texas League with 10 stolen bases. Adding in his time in the Carolina League, OF Josh Rojas has stolen 15 bases in 16 attempts.

BULLPEN ADDITION: Joining Sierra as a newcomer in the Corpus Christi bullpen is RHP Justin Ferrell. Promoted from High-A Buies Creek to Corpus Christi last Tuesday, Ferrell was charged with 2 runs (1 ER) on 4 hits while striking out 3 over 2.0 IP in his Double-A debut Friday night. The 24-year-old went 1-0 with a 1.62 ERA in 7 appearances (16.2 IP) with Buies Creek to begin the season, allowing just 6 hits and striking out 24 batters. He registered a .109 batting average against and 0.60 WHIP, last appearing on May 3 at Down East (1 IP, 0 R, 1 H).

Ferrell is a native of Wagoner, OK and was selected by the Astros in the 36th round of the June 2014 draft from Connors State College. He went 7-5 with a 4.26 ERA in 28 games (8 GS) with Buies Creek in 2017. Ferrell spent 2015 and 2016 with Quad Cities, posting a 4.74 ERA in 2016 and a 1.95 ERA in 2015. He began his pro career with the GCL Astros in 2014.
