TinCaps fall to West Michigan, 6-3, in Espinoza's return
DYLAN SINN | The Journal Gazette
The TinCaps dropped their first game of the season, falling to West Michigan 6-3 at Parkview Field after the Whitecaps pushed across five runs in the seventh inning, helped along by a badly blown call. TinCaps right-hander Anderson Espinoza pitched for the first time since 2016.
How it Happened
The teams entered the seventh locked in a 1-1 pitcher's duel, but that ended during a wild inning that took nearly 58 minutes to play. In the top half of the inning, Sam Keating became the first Fort Wayne pitcher this season to really let the game get away from him. A double, catcher's interference and a walk loaded the bases with nobody out and that's when the proceedings got weird.
