TinCaps Fall in Series Finale Prior to the All-Star Break<\/strong>
\nStory by Andy Jachim<\/em> <\/p>\n

Fort Wayne, Indiana (July 13, 2025) \u2013 The TinCaps fell in Sunday\u2019s series finale heading into the All-Star break against the Quad Cities River Bandits (Royals affiliate), 6-2.<\/p>\n

Starter Luis Gutierrez looked sharp for Fort Wayne (12-9, 43-43) in his fifth start at the High-A level. The left-hander pitched five innings while giving up two runs on five hits and collecting eight strikeouts, his most in a High-A start.<\/p>\n

Reliever Luis German pitched two scoreless innings in relief while allowing just one hit. The righty has given up one earned run in his last seven outings and has a 1.29 ERA in four appearances in July. German has only walked one batter this month and has a 1.00 WHIP dating back to his outing against Lansing on July 1.<\/p>\n

Catcher Brendan Durfee reached base three times and has now done so safely in his last eight games. The 23-year-old picked up his 13th double of the season in the fifth inning, which drove in the TinCaps\u2019 first run of the contest.<\/p>\n

Carson Roccaforte continued to torch the baseball, extending his on-base streak to 17 games for Quad Cities (12-8, 50-36). The outfielder drilled his 13th home run of the season to lead off the second frame and picked up two other base hits, all of which were 100-plus mph off the bat. Roccaforte is now hitting .442 in 11 games this month while posting a 1.442 OPS in the stretch.<\/p>\n
