Lansing Lugnuts News Release
LANSING, Mich. - 2021 Fort Wayne TinCap Euribiel Ángeles went 3-for-4 with an RBI single and a double, and the Lansing Lugnuts (3-7, 35-40) opened a six-game home-and-home series with a comfortable 7-1 victory over the TinCaps (3-7, 31-45) on Monday night at Jackson® Field™.
It was the Lugnuts' first and only scheduled Monday game of the year.
Ángeles had played in 18 games for Fort Wayne after winning the Low-A West batting title, and then was traded the following April to Oakland for Sean Manaea, provided the game's first hit with a single off Fernando Sanchez in the first inning, opened the scoring with an RBI single to right field off Sanchez in the third inning, and sparked a three-run rally in the eighth with a double to left off Tyler Morgan.
In between, Lansing starter Jake Garland tossed five strong innings, allowing only a solo home run to Griffin Doersching, and Jack Owen and Hunter Breault followed with two scoreless innings apiece to wrap things up.
Luke Mann added his third High-A home run for the Nuts, who ended a three-game losing streak.
