West Michigan Whitecaps News Release
COMSTOCK PARK - Manny Miguelez pitched the first nine inning complete game of his professional career as the Whitecaps defeated Great Lakes, 5-1. The lefty allowed just six hits and two walks with six strikeouts to earn the victory.
In the third inning, the Loons strung together three hits and took a 1-0 lead on an RBI single by Jovanny Rosario. However, in the bottom of the third, Kyle Peter led off with a bunt single for the Whitecaps. Joe Tucker then put West Michigan in front for good with a two-run homer. It was Tucker's second homer of the season and third of his professional career. All have been in August. Peter added a two-run bases loaded single with no outs in the eighth against reliever Cal Stanke. The fifth West Michigan run scored when Angel Flores crossed the plate in the eighth on a ground ball double play off the bat of Audy Ciriaco.
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Cory Wade tossed the first inning in a rehab assignment with the Loons. He allowed one hit and threw a total of 13 pitches. Garrett White then established a Loons team record with six innings of relief. White struck out seven but walked two and allowed eight hits, including the home run by Tucker to take the loss. All nine players in the Whitecaps lineup had a hit for the first time in exactly one month: The last occurrence was July 25 versus Wisconsin. Tucker, Peter and Alex Avila - the top three batters in the lineup - had two hits each. West Michigan has won seven consecutive meetings with the Loons.
