Lesko Shines, Dayton Pitches a Shutout<\/strong>
\nBy Brayden Carroll<\/em><\/p>\n

Fort Wayne, Indiana (June 29, 2024) \u2013 TinCaps pitchers put together a strong display on the bump with 14 strikeouts, but the Dayton Dragons (Reds affiliate)) still prevailed in a 3-0 win at Parkview Field on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

The night featured a premiere pitching duel between Dragons (5-3, 39-35) starter T.J. Sikkema and TinCaps starter Dylan Lesko (No. 3 Padres prospect). The two combined for just one hit allowed in the first three innings.<\/p>\n

It took until the sixth inning for Dayton to put the game\u2019s first run on the board behind a Sal Stewart (No. 6 Reds prospect) double to score Carlos Jorge (No. 7 Reds prospect). It was Stewart\u2019s sixth RBI of the series in five games.<\/p>\n

Lesko threw a career-high 96 pitches (62 strikes) across 5 2\/3 innings, allowing only one run with nine strikeouts, which tied his career mark for a single game.<\/p>\n

The Dragons added insurance in the eighth inning. With two outs and two runners in scoring position, Dayton\u2019s Leo Balcazar (No. 18 Reds prospect) smacked a crucial line-drive single to send score both runners and stamp a 3-0 Dragons lead.<\/p>\n

TinCaps (2-6, 30-44) left fielder Nick Vogt made his High-A debut, going 1-for-2 with a walk.<\/p>\n
