HOT START: The TinCaps are seeking their first 3-1 start since 2013. That year's team included current big league starting pitchers Max Fried (Braves), Joe Ross (Nationals), and Zach Eflin (Phillies).

LAST NIGHT: Fort Wayne fell to 2-1 with a 6-3 loss to West Michigan last night. But, it was RHP Anderson Espinoza who stole the show. In a schedule 2.0 IP start, he allowed 1 H, 0 ER, and amassed 3 K, sitting 95-96 with his fastball, topping at 97 twice. It was Espinoza's first MiLB appearance since August 31, 2016 (1,709 days).

FRESH START: RHP Edgar Martinez toes the rubber tonight for the TinCaps. The 20-year-old is the only rostered 'Cap born in 2001, and has never pitched in an MiLB game above the Arizona Rookie League. Edgar's a native of Havana, Cuba.
