FORT WAYNE, Ind. The highest-rated San Diego Padres prospect on the 2021 TinCaps roster threw in his first game in over 1,700 days, and didn t disappoint.
Anderson Espinoza showcased his blistering fastball and plus command through two scoreless innings, but Fort Wayne fell to the West Michigan Whitecaps, 6-3.
Across his two scheduled innings of work, Espinoza allowed just one hit and walked none while striking out three. The 23-year-old Venezuelan reached 97 miles-per-hour with his fastball in his first Minor League appearance since August 31, 2016 after multiple Tommy John surgeries.
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.
