The southpaw struck out eight of the 16 batters that he faced across five innings of work, and allowed just one hit. He tossed 41 of his 56 pitches for strikes and induced 18 swings and misses. Through his first three starts with Fort Wayne, Mayfield has struck out 16 batters across 12.0 innings with just one hit allowed.<\/p>\n<p>The TinCaps got their lone run on a wild pitch in the sixth inning that scored Jake Cunningham, who collected another multi-hit game. Cunningham has nine hits in his last five games after going 2-for-3 in the win. Rosman Verdugo picked up his first multi-hit game of the season as well, going 2-for-3.<\/p>\n<p>Lake County (5-7) got four scoreless innings out of right-handed pitcher Braylon Doughty (No. 7 Guardians prospect). Doughty punched out three and walked a pair in his third start of the campaign.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.milb.com\/gameday\/tincaps-vs-captains\/2026\/04\/17\/819899\/final\/box\" target=\"_blank\">Box Score<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ballysports.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bally Sports Live app<\/a> (free) | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.milb.com\/live-stream-games\/subscribe\" target=\"_blank\">MiLB.TV<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/live-stream-games\/subscribe?affiliateId=MLBTVREDIRECT\" target=\"_blank\">MLB.TV<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Listen<\/strong>: 1380 The Fan &#038; 100.9 FM | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.milb.com\/fort-wayne\" target=\"_blank\">TinCaps.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.milb.com\/fort-wayne\/tickets\" target=\"_blank\">Tickets<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/wells\/81643.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Judi Wire, WCBA President, displays one of the &quot;Tin Caps&quot;.
