Today's Game: The Dayton Dragons (affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds) host the Lansing Lugnuts (affiliate of the Athletics) in the third game of a six-game series at Day Air Ballpark in the heart of the Water Street District. This is the final series of 2025 for the Dragons.

The current Dragons winning streak is the longest in the Midwest League since before MLB took over record-keeping in the Minor Leagues in 2005. Year-by-year winning streak information is not available prior to 2005. The longest winning streak in the Midwest League prior to the current Dragons streak was 13 by Bowling Green in 2018. The all-time Midwest League record is 17, by Cedar Rapids in 1965.

The current Dragons winning streak is the longest in all Minor League Baseball in 2025. No other team in the minor leagues has won 15 straight since 2023, when Modesto of the California League won 16 straight.

The Dragons have also won eight consecutive home games starting August 19 (the last home loss was August 10 vs. Lake County). The club record for consecutive home wins is 10 in 2008.

Dayton broke a 6-6 tie with three runs in the sixth. Peyton Stovall led an 11-hit attack, going 3 for 5 with a home run and five RBI.

The Dragons have swept their last two series (both 6-game sets) vs. Peoria and at Fort Wayne. These are their first two series wins of the year and their first sweeps of a 6-game series since they swept Fort Wayne in six games, September 14-19, 2021 in Dayton.
