Pregame: TinCaps (33-37) vs. Dayton (37-32)
The TinCaps are on a roll. After Friday night s 7-3 win over Dayton at Parkview Field, Fort Wayne has won three in a row, five of its last six and 10 of 15, one of its best stretches of the season. The two-week string of good baseball following a season-long seven-game losing streak has propelled the TinCaps from sixth to fourth in the High-A Central East Division standings.
With a win tonight against the Dragons, the TinCaps can win their first series at Parkview Field since the opening week of the season against the West Michigan Whitecaps. A victory would also make it the first time Fort Wayne has won four games in a home series in 2021, and a fourth straight victory would tie a season-high.
