A TinCaps Win Would : Improve their record to 11-5 in their last 16... End a 3-game skid in the season series against Great Lakes... Be their 1st in a series opener against Great Lakes in 5 tries.
Home Cookin : Over their last 6 games at Parkview Field, the TinCaps went 4-2. Fort Wayne took 2 out of 3 from both Beloit and Wisconsin.
Don't Ever Give Up : Fort Wayne's 4-run comeback on Monday was its 16th come-from-behind victory of the season, and 1 of its largest, but not the largest. The TinCaps have rallied from 5 runs down to win 4 different times.
How the West Was Won : The TinCaps have now concluded interdivision play for the regular season. Fort Wayne went 14-9 against the West, including an 8-4 record in the second half.
Easy As 1, 2, Trea : In 14 games with the TinCaps, the No. 13 overall pick in last month's draft, Trea Turner, is hitting .491 with 14 runs scored, 6 doubles (including 1 Monday), 1 triple, and 6 RBI. He's also walked 7 times and has stolen 8 bases (2 on Monday). For the homestand, Turner went 15-for-22 (.681), with 5 runs, 2 doubles, 2 RBI, 2 walks, and 4 stolen bases. Defensively, the shortstop has yet to commit an error.
Pitching Wins : Over their last 15 games, Fort Wayne starters have allowed 3 earned runs or fewer in all but 2 games. The TinCaps are 10-5 in that time. Prior to this stretch, Fort Wayne had lost 13 consecutive games, during which its starters allowed more than 3 earned runs 6 times.
Playoffs? : Fort Wayne enters Tuesday 2.5 games out of a playoff spot in the Eastern Division. While West Michigan and South Bend secured playoff bids in the 1st half, Lansing and Lake County start the day with the best 2nd half records of the 6 clubs still vying for 2 postseason spots. The TinCaps have qualified for the postseason each of the last 5 years - the longest active streak in the Midwest League.
