TinCaps right-handed pitcher Moises Lugo started the game for the TinCaps, getting through four innings, allowing just one run and sitting in the mid-90s with his fastball velocity.<\/p>\n<p>In the bottom of the fourth, the &#8216;Caps grabbed the lead thanks to the right fielder Ruiz&#8217;s bomb. After Danny Cabrera plated the first run of the game in the top half of the inning with a sacrifice fly, Ruiz launched a no-doubt home run to right field, plating third baseman Kelvin Melean and giving Fort Wayne a 2-1 lead. Ruiz hit a grand slam on Friday, too. <\/p>\n<p>Things began to unravel for TinCaps pitching, however, in the fifth inning. Spencer Torkelson, 2020&#8217;s first overall pick, drove in the first two runs of his Minor League Baseball career, with a two-out single. The Whitecaps scored five in the fifth to build a 6-2 lead. <\/p>\n<p>Though Fort Wayne earned a run back in the home fifth as third baseman Melean mashed an RBI double, West Michigan responded with three more in the seventh to go up 9-3. <\/p>\n<p>Almanzar, who started at first base, hit a three-run blast to left field in the home eight that trimmed the deficit to 9-6. But a seven-run barrage for the visitors in the ninth turned the game in a route. <\/p>\n<p>The Whitecaps went 8-for-17 with runners in scoring position, while the TinCaps were 2-for-11. West Michigan produced seven RBIs with two outs compared to no two-out RBIs for Fort Wayne. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Next Game<\/strong>: Sunday, May 9 vs. West Michigan (1:05 p.m.)<br \/>\n<strong>TinCaps Probable Starter<\/strong>: LHP Ethan Elliott<br \/>\n<strong>Whitecaps Probable Starter<\/strong>: RHP Keider Montero<br \/>\n<strong>Watch<\/strong>: Comcast Network 81 &#038; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.milb.com\/live-stream-games\/subscribe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MiLB.TV<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Listen<\/strong>: 1380 The Fan &#038; 100.9 FM<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/category\/sports\/fort-wayne-tincaps-baseball\/\">Read more TinCaps news on AroundFortWayne<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/wells\/81643.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Judi Wire, WCBA President, displays one of the &quot;Tin Caps&quot;.
