On Friday night for the Round Rock Express, starter Jerad Eickhoff stifled the Colorado Springs Sky Sox (Brewers) over 8 1/3 innings in his first start with the team. Eickhoff was drafted by the Texas Rangers in 2011, and has been making the steady climb through the system. In 2013 he received his first look with the Frisco RoughRiders in Double-A, spent all of 2014 with the team, and made his first two starts of 2015 with them, before making the jump to the Express after allowing three earned in ten innings for Frisco. Those ten innings included 14 strikeouts and just seven hits.
