Game recap from the Fort Wayne TinCaps:
Fort Wayne, Indiana — Fort Wayne starter Eric Yost shined in a career day, but the TinCaps fell in their series finale at Parkview Field, losing 2-0 to the Dayton Dragons (Reds affiliate).
In a third-straight pitchers’ duel, Yost and Dragons (9-18) starting pitcher Gabriel Aguilera set the tone Sunday afternoon. A Northeastern grad, Yost gave up just one run across seven innings. Tying a career-long performance, the right-hander struck out a career-high 11 batters while not giving up a single walk.
Aguilera struck out seven TinCaps (15-12) across five scoreless innings, earning his first win of the season. The right-hander walked two, giving up five hits and leaving six runners on.
The Dragons opened up the scoring in the fourth inning. Victor Acosta drove in Leo Balcazar following a fielder’s choice.
TinCaps catcher Addison Kopack hit a line-shot triple in the fifth, his second straight game with an extra-base hit. Kopack later tried to score on a single from Brandon Butterworth, but was caught down by a throw from Dayton center fielder Carlos Jorge.
Dayton added a run in the eighth before the ‘Caps threatened in the ninth. Despite two base hits, a double play, and a strikeout ended Fort Wayne’s hopes for a series sweep.
Fort Wayne has won six of its last seven, its best stretch this season.
