TinCaps 3, West Michigan 1
Pitching helps TinCaps snap losing streak
JOURNAL GAZETTE
Anderson Espinoza returned from a 10-game suspension to throw three shutout innings, Moises Lugo dominated after missing a start with a tired arm and the TinCaps snapped a three-game losing streak with a 3-1 win over the West Michigan Whitecaps at LMCU Ballpark on Saturday night.
The game was scoreless into the sixth, but the TinCaps (29-36) broke the tie when Chris Givin was hit by a pitch and Grant Little drove him in with a double down the left-field line to put Fort Wayne up 1-0. Little later scored on a Tirso Ornelas groundout to double the advantage and give Fort Wayne all the runs it would need.
