Ruiz Homers in Series Opener
By Ben ShulmanMidland, Michigan (August 23, 2022) – The Fort Wayne TinCaps lost, 13-2, to the Great Lakes Loons (Los Angeles Dodgers affiliate) at Dow Diamond on Tuesday night.
Fort Wayne’s (18-30, 45-69) lone runs came from Agustín Ruiz. Down 4-0 in the top of the second, Ruiz clubbed his fifth home run of the year, and second in the last four games. The right fielder has five extra-base hits in his last seven contests. His two-run shot made it 4-2.
The TinCaps produced just five hits, though. Cole Cummings lined a ball to center field before Ruiz’s home run, Anthony Vilar singled to right field in the fourth, and new Fort Wayne center fielder Justin Farmer picked up a pair of knocks in his debut. Farmer was added to the roster today alongside infielders Charlis Aquino and Josttin Diaz.
Great Lakes (30-19, 70-45) dominated, however, due to the long ball. Jose Ramos hit a three-run homer as part of the Loons four-run first. Then, Eddys Leonard and Imanol Vargas went deep three batters apart in the third to build a 7-2 Great Lakes’ lead after three innings.
