CORPUS CHRISTI - Julio Robaina matched his personal best with 10 strikeouts over 6 1/3 dominant innings Wednesday night, leading the Hooks to a 1-0 win over the Drillers before 5,532 fans at Whataburger Field.

Robaina permitted just one base runner thanks to a two-out single in the fourth. The lefty from Havana sports a 1.76 ERA in three May assignments.

Wednesday's lone marker came in the Corpus Christi sixth. Drew Gilbert poked a single into right and then raced home on a double off the bat of Joey Loperfido.

Diosmerky Taveras, bolstered by an outfield assist from Gilbert in right, limited the Drillers to a walk and hit batsman over 1.2 innings.

Tyler Brown worked around an error and walk in the ninth for his third save.
