Fort Wayne, Indiana (August 13, 2025) \u2013 The Fort Wayne TinCaps couldn\u2019t come back in Wednesday night\u2019s 5-4 loss to the West Michigan Whitecaps (Tigers affiliate).<\/p>\n

The TinCaps (51-58, 21-23) scored a pair in the second and third innings, with RBI singles from Braedon Karpathios (No. 29 Padres prospect) and Jack Costello being the highlights. Going 2-for-5 tonight, Karpathios leads the TinCaps with 26 multi-hit games this season. He has 13 of those in his last 26 games played.<\/p>\n

Lamar King Jr. (No. 14 Padres prospect) picked up his first three-hit performance at the High-A level. The 21-year-old reached in all four of his plate appearances tonight and is 9-for-21 (.429) in his last six games. Infielder Ryan Jackson also added a multi-hit showing by going 2-for-4 and has reached base in 40 of his 44 games with Fort Wayne.<\/p>\n
