Fort Wayne bounces back, wins 5-1
FORT WAYNE — C.J. Abrams had his first two hits as a member of the team.
Michael Curry hit a pair of doubles.
Blake Hunt and Tyler Benson had two hits as well.
Collectively, they got back to their winning ways.
A day after having their five-game winning streak snapped, the Fort Wayne TinCaps bounced back with a 5-1 victory against the Dayton Dragons on Wednesday at Parkview Field.
Abrams, the sixth overall pick in June’s MLB draft who was transferred to Fort Wayne on Tuesday, doubled, walked, stole a base and scored a run in his second game with the TinCaps (19-26 second half, 52-61 overall). The 18-year-old from Alpharetta, Georgia, also bounced back after going 0-for-4 as designated hitter Tuesday.
Fort Wayne scored twice in each of the third and fourth innings to build its lead. Tucupita Marcano singled to score Abrams in the third, and Ethan Skender came home on a passed ball in the fourth inning.
Dayton (20-25, 48-67), an affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds, cut the deficit in half in the top of the sixth inning on a Jay Schuyler single to left field.
The TinCaps answered in the home half of the frame, though, as Skender singled to left, bringing Curry to the plate for a 3-1 advantage.
Curry, who also singled in the game on his way to a team-high three hits, blasted an RBI double in the eighth and Benson knocked an RBI double as well in the same frame as the ’Caps added a pair of insurance runs.
Hunt doubled, singled and walked once. Dwanya Williams-Sutton, who had the day off Tuesday, went 0-for-3, putting an end to his streak of reaching base for 23 consecutive games.
Fort Wayne starting pitcher Omar Cruz shined in his return from the Injured List. He scattered three hits over 5 1/3 innings. The 20-year-old lefty from Mexico, who missed his last start with an oblique injury, allowed one earned run, struck out six and walked one.
The TinCaps go for their seventh win in eight games at 7:05 p.m. tonight. Efraín Contreras (4-5, 3.98 ERA) is set to pitch for Fort Wayne, while Dayton is expected to counter with Lyon Richardson (2-8, 4.65 ERA).
