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

Valenzuela Shines Defensively, But Fort Wayne Falls By A Run<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fort Wayne, Indiana – TinCaps catcher Brandon Valenzuela impressed defensively, but Fort Wayne lost to the Dayton Dragons (Cincinnati Reds affiliate), 1-0, on Friday night at Parkview Field in front of a crowd of 4,146.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old prospect from Mexico threw out three runners attempting to steal on the bases, and also picked a runner off at first base. Valenzuela leads the High-A level with nine caught stealings on the season and ranks tied for second in all of Minor League Baseball.<\/p>\n

However, the Midwest League East Division first-place Dragons (14-5) plated the game’s only run in the top of the ninth inning. Dayton’s left-handed batting first baseman Jack Rogers, who stepped up to the plate 1-for-34 on the season (.029 average), delivered an RBI single to right field that scored Nick Quintana from second base. Quintana, the third baseman, had doubled.<\/p>\n

TinCaps (11-8) center fielder Robert Hassell III singled in the first inning to extend his on-base streak to 19 games to begin the season. But Fort Wayne finished the night with only four hits and one walk. Left fielder Corey Rosier provided a third-inning double and a leadoff single in the ninth.<\/p>\n

Dayton starter Connor Phillips, MLB.com’s No. 14 Reds prospect, struck out 10 in six innings of three-hit ball with no walks.<\/p>\n

On the other side, lefty Noel Vela kept the Dragons off the board for the first 4 1\/3 innings and struck out four. In relief, Brandon Komar K-ed seven batters in 2 2\/3 scoreless innings.<\/p>\n
