The Sugar Land Space Cowboys logged their longest no-hit bid in franchise history Tuesday in Round Rock. With starting pitcher Misael Tamarez eating five of those innings, the Houston Astros' affiliate still dropped the contest to the Express, 6-4.

Tamarez yielded one run in his start after issuing five walks to his six strikeouts. The lone run scored in the fourth inning when Meibrys Vitoria took home on a wild pitch.

Parker Mushinski carried the combined no-hit bid through the sixth inning, but Shawn Dubin was tacked with five earned runs in the seventh. The Space Cowboys haven't neighbored a .500 record since April, but are 72-74 with two games left on the season.
