TinCaps 4, Great Lakes 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MIDLAND, Mich. (April 11, 2016) – The TinCaps won their third game in a row on Monday night, topping the Great Lakes Loons, 4-2, at Dow Diamond.<\/p>\n

Fort Wayne (3-2) rallied after falling behind 2-0 with two-run home runs from designated hitter River Stevens and right fielder Luis Tejada.<\/p>\n

Stevens pulled his homer over the right-field fence to plate Tejada and tie the game in the top of the fifth inning.<\/p>\n

“I was just trying to get Tejada across,” said Stevens, who now has two home runs in 153 career MiLB games. “When I hit it, I thought, \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcWow, that’s going out of here.'”<\/p>\n

Tejada tagged his off Garrett Harrison (L, 0-1) in the seventh. It traveled an estimated 404 feet to left field.<\/p>\n

Will Headean (W, 1-0) threw 3 1\/3 scoreless innings of relief to earn the win out of the bullpen. Lou Distasio (S, 1) followed with 2 scoreless frames to close it out.<\/p>\n

Their impressive performances came on the heels of starter Enyel De Los Santos, who struck out seven and didn’t walk a batter in 3 2\/3 innings. Combined, the trio struck out 12 and didn’t issue any walks.<\/p>\n

The TinCaps entered the game leading Minor League Baseball in hits with 48 and added 10 more Monday. Three came from catcher Austin Allen, who went 3-for-4 with a walk and is now 14-for-17 to begin the season. He leads all players in both Major League and Minor League Baseball in hits.<\/p>\n

Great Lakes (1-1) initially took a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the fourth against De Los Santos.<\/p>\n
