Late Rally Not Enough for TinCaps in Game 2 of Friday’s Twin Bill
Eastlake, Ohio (April 17, 2026) – The Fort Wayne TinCaps could not come back in Friday night’s 4-3 loss in game two of the doubleheader against the Lake County Captains (Guardians affiliate).
Center fielder Kasen Wells led the charge for the TinCaps offense out of the leadoff spot, with his third multi-hit showing of the season. Wells finished the night 2-for-3 at the dish with two runs scored and was left out of third base as the tying run in the seventh frame.
Left fielder Alex McCoy (No. 21 Padres prospect) went 1-for-4 in the loss, extending his hitting streak to a Midwest League-leading nine games. It is the longest hitting streak by a TinCap since Nerwilian Cedeno had a 13-game stretch with a knock in 2024.
After having a home run in each of the first two games of the series, right fielder Jaison Chourio (No. 11 Guardians prospect) went 3-for-3 in the nightcap of the twin bill for Lake County (6-7). Right-hander Jogly Garcia picked up his first victory of the season as the starter for the Captains. Garcia went five frames and allowed just one run on one hit.
