Fort Wayne, Indiana (August 20, 2022) – A crowd of 8,003 fans packed Parkview Field for the ballpark’s 10th sellout of the season on Saturday night, but the TinCaps lost a close game against the Dayton Dragons (Cincinnati Reds affiliate), 4-3.

In the seventh, left fielder Albert Fabian put the TinCaps on the board with a two-out, RBI single to score center fielder Joshua Mears, who had doubled.<\/p>\n

Then in the eighth, third baseman Lucas Dunn singled, first baseman Carlos Luis tripled him in, and right fielder Agust\u00edn Ruiz belted an RBI double.<\/p>\n

All five Fort Wayne hits in those two innings went to the opposite field.<\/p>\n

On the mound, starter Jose Espada struck out nine in five-plus innings. He allowed a two-out run in the fourth and was charged with two more runs in the sixth. Nick Thwaits spun three scoreless innings of relief to keep the ‘Caps in the game.<\/p>\n

The Dragons (16-29, 55-56) scored their run in the ninth without a hit thanks to three consecutive walks followed by a hit batter.<\/p>\n
