Great Lakes Loons News Release


DAVENPORT, Iowa. - Pepinillos Picantes del Norte (64-50) (30-19) pitching one-upped the Bandidos del Rio (64-53) (25-25), with Logan Tabeling and Brooks Auger striking out a combined 12 batters in a 2-1 win on an 80-degree partly cloudy Wednesday night at Modern Woodman Park.

- Logan Tabeling, in his first start with Great Lakes, turned in his best performance of his pro ball career. The right-hander struck out a career-high nine and allowed just one run off two hits. The 23-year-old permitted just one base runner in his first four. Quad Cities pushed a run across on a balk in the fifth, but Derlin Figueroa was caught stealing to end the frame.

- Brooks Auger provided four scoreless innings. The 23-year-old worked around bases loaded in the ninth. He struck out Trevor Werner, his third punchout of the night, and then induced a Derlin Figueroa groundout to win a seven-pitch battle.

- The Picantes tallied two runs on six hits, despite going 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position. Eduardo Quintero knocked his second High-A homer and 16th in 2025, an opposite-field solo shot in the first inning. Kendall George had his ninth multi-hit game in August. His third-inning infield hit, fielded by pitcher Mason Miller, was thrown into right field, letting a runner score from first.

- Jordan Thompson singled in the seventh inning and now has a knock in six of his last seven games.
