Fort Wayne spoils Gore's debut

The TinCaps, who have lost the first six games this season, led in the second and fifth innings, but surrendered two runs in the top of the seventh for the eventual final score.

Gabriel Arias had two doubles for the TinCaps, and Luis Campusano also had a pair of hits. Jeisson Rosario ripped a double and drove in a pair of runs.

Travis Radke suffered the loss for Fort Wayne, which hosted the Lugnuts (4-2) at 11:05 a.m. this morning for the third of a four-game series. Radke allowed four runs — three earned —?on four hits in three innings of relief.
