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

Lansing, Michigan (April 23, 2025) \u2013 Leo De Vries tripled again, but the Fort Wayne TinCaps fell to the Lansing Lugnuts (A\u2019s affiliate) Wednesday night, 8-3, at Jackson Field.<\/p>\n

Lansing (10-7) got out to an early lead, scoring three runs on three separate singles in the first inning. Looking for its second comeback in as many games, Fort Wayne (9-8) answered in the second and third.<\/p>\n

Following a single from center fielder Nerwilian Cede\u00f1o in the second, left fielder Jake Snider tattooed his second triple of the year into left-center field. One batter later, Brandon Butterworth skied an RBI sac fly to center to bring the ‘Caps within one.<\/p>\n

A night after his historic cycle with eight RBIs, De Vries (No. 1 Padres prospect) opened the third with a leadoff triple. Following his fifth extra-base hit of the series, De Vries tied the game, scoring on a balk.<\/p>\n

The Lugnuts countered quickly, taking the lead back in the third behind a two-run single from second baseman Casey Yamauchi. The Lugnuts added another in the sixth inning and two more in the eighth behind Rodney Green Jr.\u2019s (No. 20 A’s prospect) fifth home run of the season.<\/p>\n

TinCap reliever Harry Gustin impressed out of the pen. In a career-long 4 \u2154 innings pitched, Gustin struck out a career-high five, giving up just one run.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Caps offense collected just one more hit in the final six innings as four Lugnut relievers put together scoreless outings.<\/p>\n
