FORT WAYNE, Ind. - The Dayton Dragons (Cincinnati Reds) clung to an early lead, tacked on some eighth-inning insurance and claimed the series opener with the TinCaps, 5-0, on Monday night at Parkview Field.

The Dragons (1-4 second half, 22-53 overall) grabbed a 1-0 lead in the fifth, added a run in the seventh and three more in the eighth en route to the victory over the TinCaps (3-2, 39-36) in the first of four games.

Fort Wayne mustered just four hits, as Dragons starter Jacob Constante (W, 3-7) tossed six shutout innings, and reliever Jesus Reyes (S, 1) followed with three hitless frames.

TinCaps starter J.C. Cosme (L, 7-4) allowed one run in five innings.

Offensively for the home team, Jhonatan Peña's streak of four consecutive games with a home run came to an end, but he still delivered a pair of singles.

Fort Wayne native, Notre Dame product and Dallas Cowboys linebacker Jaylon Smith-a Bishop Luers High School graduate-signed autographs and threw out the first pitch before the game.
