Pinales impresses again, but Lugnuts win
Lansing, Michigan (April 25, 2025) – Enmanuel Pinales allowed only one run over five innings to continue his impressive start to the season, but the Lansing Lugnuts (A’s affiliate) topped the TinCaps, 3-1, Friday night at Jackson Field.
The game was initially delayed 59 minutes by inclement weather.
Once the action started, Lansing (12-7) swiftly scored a run in the bottom of the first inning. After that, however, Pinales kept the Lugnuts off the scoreboard. The right-hander struck out four as he lowered his season ERA to 1.45 — fourth lowest in the High-A Midwest League. His 23 strikeouts on the year are also fourth best in the circuit.
Meanwhile, Fort Wayne (9-10) immediately equalized in the top of the second as designated hitter Sean Barnett, in his ‘Caps debut, launched a sacrifice fly to bring in right fielder Nerwilian Cedeño, who had doubled and advanced to third base on a wild pitch.
After that, though, there were no more runs until the home eighth. That’s when Lugnuts third baseman Tommy White (No. 7 A’s prospect) knocked a go-ahead RBI single. Catcher Cole Conn did the same for insurance. White also had a run-scoring double in the first.
Tyler Morgan followed Pinales with two scoreless, no-hit innings as he punched out four batters.
Top Padres prospect, shortstop Leo De Vries, led off the game with a single and stole second base.
Next Game: Saturday, April 26 @ Lansing (1:05 p.m.)
- TinCaps Probable Pitcher: RHP Isaiah Lowe (No. 10 Padres prospect)
- Lugnuts Probable Pitcher: RHP Steven Echavarria (No. 12 A’s prospect)
