Game recap from the Fort Wayne TinCaps:<\/p>\n

Back-to-Back Wins for ‘Caps to Open 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fort Wayne, Indiana (April 5, 2025) \u2014 For the first time since 2021, the TinCaps have opened a new season with a 2-0 record. Fort Wayne beat the Lansing Lugnuts (A’s affiliate), 4-1, on Saturday at Parkview Field.<\/p>\n

On a chilly and wet afternoon, the Lugnuts (0-2) began the scoring with a run in the top of the third inning, but their lead didn’t last long.<\/p>\n

The ‘Caps (2-0) jumped in front, 2-1, in the home third as designated hitter Brendan Durfee smacked a two-out, two-run double to drive in shortstop Leo De Vries (No. 1 Padres prospect) and left fielder Jack Costello. De Vries finished 1-for-4 with a single.<\/p>\n

Fort Wayne finally added insurance in the eighth. This time it was second baseman Brandon Butterworth providing a two-out, two-run double that scored center fielder Nerwilian Cede\u00f1o, who had singled, and catcher Oswaldo Linares, who walked.<\/p>\n

Starting pitcher Isaiah Lowe (No. 10 Padres prospect) worked the first four innings. Garrett Hawkins, pitching in a Minor League Baseball game for the first time since May of 2023 due to injury, dazzled over two perfect innings of relief, striking out four. Eiker Huizi followed with a 1-2-3 seventh and left-hander Fernando Sanchez saved it with a scoreless eighth and ninth.<\/p>\n

The TinCaps out-hit the Lugnuts, 9-3.<\/p>\n

The last time the ‘Caps began a season 3-0 was in 2013.<\/p>\n
