Today's Game: The Dayton Dragons (affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds) host the Lake County Captains (affiliate of the Cleveland Guardians) in the second game of a six-game series at Day Air Ballpark in the heart of the Water Street District.

Last Game: Tuesday: Lake County 6, Dayton 0. Three Captains pitchers combined on a four-hit shutout. Ralphy Velazquez blasted a three-run home run in the fifth inning that gave Lake County a commanding 5-0 lead. The Dragons did not collect their first hit until Ariel Almonte's single in the fifth. Carlos Jorge's ninth inning double was the only extra base hit. Dragons starting pitcher Nick Sando exited with the trainer while warming up for the top of the fifth.

Player Notes:

Tonight's Dayton starting pitcher, Johnathan Harmon, is returning from Tommy John elbow surgery. His last appearance prior to tonight in a Full-Season league came on June 12, 2024 with the Dragons, when he left the game due to elbow pain in the first inning (he did make three rehab appearances in the ACL last month). Harmon did not allow a run over his final 19 innings with the Dragons in 2024.

The Dragons are expected to receive Triple-A infielder Davis Wendzel on an injury rehab assignment tonight. Wendzel played in 28 games in the Major Leagues in 2024 with the Texas Rangers. He has played in 67 games this season with Louisville, batting .241 with eight home runs.

Jack Moss in his first 16 games with the Dragons is 15 for 44 (.341) with seven walks and an OBP of .429.

Ariel Almonte over his last 11 games is 13 for 39 (.333) with two home runs and three doubles.

Anthony Stephan in his last six games is 7 for 22 (.318) with two home runs and a double.

Irvin Machuca in his last six games (since returning from injured list): 6.2 IP, 0 R, 2 saves.

Cody Adcock in his last six games: 1.74 ERA, 10.1 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 7 BB, 11 SO.

Carlos Jorge ranks fourth in Dragons history in career steals with 60. Jorge and Jose Siri are the only two players in Dragons history to have at least 20 career home runs and at least 40 career stolen bases.
