LAST GAME: Leo De Vries (No. 1 Padres prospect) played hero for the TinCaps in front of a packed Parkview Field crowd in Saturday night's 2-1 victory over the Great Lakes Loons.

MUTANTE MADNESS: On Saturday, No. 1 Padres prospect Leo De Vries walked it off in the ninth inning with a 106 mph single off the right-center field wall on the first pitch of the at-bat. The second walk-off win of the series, De Vries had two of the five TinCaps hits and has four multi-hit games in his last seven played, hitting .346 (9-for-26) with eight walks and six RBI.

YOU'VE BEEN YOST'D: TinCaps starter Eric Yost continued a solid campaign on Saturday, giving up one run across 5 2/3 innings, striking out six. Since May 4, Yost has struck out 57 batters going five or more innings in all nine outings. He ranks second in the Midwest League in ERA (2.36), third in strikeouts (72), and is tied for third in batting average against (.218). The Northeastern grad is also fifth in innings pitched (68 2/3) and WHIP (1.17). The Ossining, New York native has turned in three of the TinCaps' 10 quality starts this season.

After 702 days without a professional appearance, Hawkins moved to the TinCaps bullpen after beginning his career as a starter.

LOOKING FOR A SERIES: Today, the TinCaps look to secure their sixth series win of the season. Currently in second place in the Second-Half East Division Standings, Fort Wayne is only behind first-half champion West Michigan. If the first half champion also wins the second half, the team with the next-best second-half winning percentage makes the playoffs.

Jackson has walked (63) more times than he has struck out (54) across two levels. He has an .864 OPS and is getting on base at a .446 clip in 71 games this year.
