WATCH: MiLB.TV

YESTERDAY: The TinCaps lost their 8th consecutive road game, 8-2, against the Loons.

WELCOME: Mason Fox made his TinCaps debut last night with a perfect inning of relief in the seventh. Fox became the 47th different TinCap to appear in a game this season (27 pitchers, 20 position players)... Tonight Moises Lugo will be Fort Wayne's 12th different starting pitcher.

WALK & RUN: Center fielder Jawuan Harris ranks 3rd in the Midwest League in both BB% (15%) and stolen bases (25)... Since July 15, in 13 games, he's slashed .306/.393/.469 (.862 OPS) with 2 doubles, 2 homers, 10 RBIs, and 6 stolen bases.

BENSON ABOARD: Outfielder Tyler Benson has hit safely in 6 of his 8 games with the TinCaps this season.

DWS, OBP: Outfielder Dwanya Williams-Sutton leads the MWL in OBP (.406). Williams-Sutton also leads the league in HBP (21), including being hit by a pitch 4 times on July 22 vs. Cedar Rapids. That tied a Minor League Baseball record. No one has ever been hit by a pitch 4 times in a MLB game. Fort Wayne's single-season record for HBP is 23 (Jon Schaeffer, 1998)... Williams-Sutton ranks 6th in the MWL in BB% (14%)... He's currently on an 18-game on-base streak, going back to July 3, in which he's batting .265 with a .486 OBP, 3 doubles, a homer, and 10 RBIs.

CURRY CATCHES ON: Outfielder Michael Curry's season got off to a slow start. After being in Extended Spring Training, he appeared in 5 April games before going back to Extended. He returned Memorial Day Weekend and went 0-for-6 in his first 2 games back. But in 49 games since May 26, he ranks 6th in the MWL in OPS (.855), SLG% (.469), and RBIs (29).

FERNANDEZ ON FIRE: Catcher Juan Fernandez is on a season-long 13-game on-base streak. Going back to June 28, he's hitting .277 with a .358 OBP, 3 doubles, a triple, a homer, and 10 RBIs.

LOPEZ LOCKED IN: Infielder Justin Lopez is on a season-high 9-game hitting streak, as well as a 10-game on-base streak. During the hitting streak that started on July 21, he's batting .286 with a .324 OBP, 3 doubles, a homer, and 5 RBIs... Lopez is 1 of only 5 teenagers in the MWL with 9+ home runs this season. The others are Peoria's Nolan Gorman, who was drafted by the Cardinals 19th overall in 2018 (he hit 10 before a mid-season promotion), Clinton's Will Banfield, who was taken 69th overall by the Marlins in 2018, Burlington's Kevin Maitan, who was rated as the No. 1 international free agent prospect in 2016, and Lansing's Gabriel Moreno, the No. 9 Blue Jays prospect (the latter 3 also have 9 HR).

SKENDER SPARKS: Infielder Ethan Skender has hit safely in 10 of his 13 games as a TinCap.

SOLO SMASHES: Infielder Lee Solomon is tied for the 2nd highest Line Drive % in the MWL (20%).

IN CONTROL: TinCaps pitchers have walked the fewest batters in the MWL this season, averaging just 2.9 walks per 9 innings. Fort Wayne also has the best ratio of strikeouts to walks (3.12).
