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

TinCaps Clinch Series in Dominant 17-Hit Performance<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dayton, Ohio. (June 21, 2025) \u2013 Smacking a season-high 17 hits and completing their second one-hit shutout of the season, the Fort Wayne TinCaps clinched the series over the Dayton Dragons (Reds affiliate) Saturday night, winning 10-0.<\/p>\n

The ‘Caps (2-0, 33-34) took the lead on the very first pitch of the game as Kai Roberts (No. 23 Padres prospect) lofted his second home run in as many games over the left-field wall. In the next inning, Oswaldo Linares put Fort Wayne up a pair with an RBI single to center field. The catcher has driven in 15 RBI in his last 11 games and ended the night going 2-for-5.<\/p>\n

Behind an early cushion, TinCaps starter Eric Yost put together the best starting pitching performance of the season. After giving up a cue-shot double on the very first pitch, Yost retired 16 in a row and 20 of the final 22 batters he faced.<\/p>\n

Across seven shutout, one-hit innings, the 22-year-old struck out nine, giving up one walk and throwing 58 of his 86 pitches (67.4%) for strikes. It is the third quality start this season by Yost and the eighth by a TinCaps starter. The Northeastern grad has particularly dominated the Dragons (0-2, 21-46), now having a line of:<\/p>\n

3 GS, 1-1, 18 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 26 K, 1 BB, 0.50 ERA, .194 BAA<\/p>\n

The offense continued to rumble, scoring a run in the fifth, four runs on five hits in the sixth, and three runs on five-straight two-out hits in the eighth as all nine TinCaps hitters recorded a hit, seven of which with multiple hits and an RBI.<\/p>\n

Brandon Butterworth was just a triple shy of the cycle Saturday. Along with his team-leading 14th double of the season that drove in a run, Butterworth hit the farthest TinCap home run this season in the eighth. A solo shot at 105 mph off the bat went 433 feet to left-center field. Following his team-leading 14th multi-hit game this season, the NC State grad has hits in six of his last seven games, hitting .357 (10-for-28) with three home runs and seven RBI.<\/p>\n

No. 1 Padres prospect Leo De Vries bounced out of a slump with two base hits and an RBI while Ryan Jackson and Jack Costello each brought in two runs on two hits.<\/p>\n

The ‘Caps bullpen locked things down again with two scoreless innings, securing Fort Wayne’s fourth shutout win of the season.<\/p>\n
