Selesky and Giron Homer for TinCaps<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

DAYTON, Ohio (August 16, 2016) – Both Tyler Selesky and Ruddy Giron homered for the TinCaps on Tuesday night, but Fort Wayne fell to the Dayton Dragons (Cincinnati Reds), 3-2.<\/p>\n

The Dragons (18-33, 39-82) broke a 2-2 tie in the bottom of the eighth inning with a sacrifice fly from Nick Senzel to plate Luis Gonzalez, who led the frame off with a triple against David Bednar (L, 2-3).<\/p>\n

At one point, the TinCaps (20-31, 56-55) led 2-0. Giron smacked the first pitch of the third inning over the fence in left-center field for his second home run of the season. Then in the fourth, Selesky launched the first long ball of his professional career down the right-field line. The rookie has now reached base safely in each of his first 19 games with Fort Wayne. He’s hit safely in 16 of those contests.<\/p>\n

However, Dayton, had an answer in the home fourth. Shane Mardirosian mashed a game-tying two-run shot. That was the only blemish on Anderson Espinoza’s resume over four innings. He struck out four and didn’t walk a batter, while allowing five hits.<\/p>\n

Three Dragons relievers teamed for four scoreless innings. Manuel Aybar (W, 3-5) worked the seventh and eighth, while Sarkis Ohanian (S, 12) pitched a perfect ninth.<\/p>\n

Second baseman Peter Van Gansen and catcher Austin Allen both had two singles for the TinCaps.<\/p>\n
