DRAGONS ON THE FIELD

- Thursday: Brian Edgington

- Friday: Adam Serwinowski

- Saturday: Jose Montero

- Sunday: Nestor Lorant

On the Field : The Dragons begin a season-long stretch of 12 consecutive home games on Tuesday, May 27. Dayton hosts a six-game series against the Lansing Lugnuts (Athletics affiliate) next week between June 3-June 8.

The Dragons produced a thrilling Tuesday, May 13 win at Quad Cities during their recent road trip. Dayton trailed 6-1 entering the eighth inning before battling back to win 11-9 in 12 innings. The Dragons scored three in the eighth and two in the ninth to tie the score. Both runs in the ninth came on a two-out, two-run single by John Michael Faile. Dayton's Carlos Jorge blasted a tie-breaking two-run home run in the top of the 12th to give the Dragons an 11-9 lead and close out the scoring. The game marked just the third time since record-keeping of lead changes began in 2004 that the Dragons trailed by at least five runs in the eighth inning and battled back to win the game, and the first time since 2012. The Dragons have come back from deficits of at least five runs to win 27 times since 2004, but only three times when they trailed by five runs or more in the eighth inning or later. The 12-inning contest tied for the most innings played in a Dragons game since the rule putting a free runner on second base to begin each inning after the ninth was implemented in 2018.
