TinCaps Drop Chance to Take Series<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lansing, Michigan (July 5, 2025) \u2013 The Fort Wayne TinCaps dropped Saturday night’s matchup on the road against the Lansing Lugnuts (Athletics affiliate), 5-1.<\/p>\n

Lansing (6-8, 42-38) got on the board in the very first inning, scoring three runs on four hits, a sac fly, and an RBI fielder’s choice off of TinCaps (9-5, 40-39) starter Eric Yost.<\/p>\n

Yost then anchored down, retiring 10 of the next 12 batters he faced. In a jam in the fifth, the righty again showed his grit despite not having his best stuff. Yost struck out Darlyn Montero, leaving the bases loaded to finish his day.<\/p>\n

Second baseman Brandon Butterworth acted as the bright spot offensively for Fort Wayne. In the third, Butterworth smacked a solo home run, his seventh long ball of the season. Adding on a single in the eighth, Butterworth leads the ‘Caps with 17 multi-hit games this season. He has hits in 14 of his last 18 games with an .872 OPS across the stretch (4 2B, 2 3B, 5 HR).<\/p>\n

The Lugnuts added a pair of runs in the sixth inning off a two-run single by Joshua Kuroda-Grauer (No. 9 Athletics prospect). TinCaps reliever Luis Germ\u00e1n pitched a 1-2-3 bottom of the eighth in relief.<\/p>\n
