TinCaps Fall in 10 to Snap Four-Game Win Streak<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fort Wayne, Indiana (August 25, 2021) – The Fort Wayne TinCaps lost to the Dayton Dragons (Cincinnati Reds affiliate) at Parkview Field on Wednesday night, 4-3, in 10 innings. The loss snapped a four-game winning streak.<\/p>\n

Fort Wayne starter Danny Denz carried a 1.82 ERA into his ninth start as a TinCap, but the Dragons (51-47) opened scoring in the bottom of the second with an RBI single from first baseman Alex McGarry.<\/p>\n

The two traded blows in the fourth. After Dayton catcher Matheu Nelson doubled in center fielder Allan Cerda, the TinCaps (47-51) loaded the bases and drove a run in on a bases-loaded walk from designated hitter Kelvin Alarcon in the bottom half of the inning.<\/p>\n

A half-inning later, Dayton extended its lead to 3-1 on an RBI single from second baseman, Ivan Johnson, the No. 17 Reds prospect.<\/p>\n

Scoring halted until the bottom of the eighth inning, when right fielder Tirso Ornelas tied the game with a two-run double down the left-field line to drive in third baseman Zack Mathis and first baseman Yorman Rodriguez. Ornelas’ double was his league-leading 27th two-bagger of the season.<\/p>\n

After a scoreless ninth inning that included 2021 Golden Spikes Award winner Kevin Kopps making his Parkview Field debut, Fort Wayne and Dayton went to extra innings at 3-3.<\/p>\n

In the 10th, center fielder Allan Cerda plated the automatic runner at second base with a ground-rule double, and the TinCaps were unable to respond in the bottom of the inning.<\/p>\n

Both Kopps and right-handed reliever Chase Walter made their first pitching appearance in Fort Wayne after joining the team on the road last week. Offensively, Rodriguez highlighted the output with a three-hit night.<\/p>\n

Looking to Thursday, Padres righty reliever Trey Wingenter is expected to make a one-inning rehab appearance as he works his way back from Tommy John surgery<\/em>.<\/p>\n
