In a high-scoring contest between Texas and Chicago, catcher Erick Lujan was a difference-maker. Lujan distinguished himself in the 9-8 Texas win. He was 3 for 4 with 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. Texas reliever Chris Hughes picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Ezra Kozlowski took the loss. With the loss, Chicago drops to 0-3.

Texas got a game-changing hit from Ed Alvarez. The first baseman blasted a solo home run in the bottom of the 11th inning to win the game. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a winner.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Lujan, "one at-bat at a time."
