TOM TERRIFIC: Friday night, the TinCaps give the ball to Tom Cosgrove who should feel comfortable in Midland, Michigan.

MILLER TIME: TinCaps reliever Evan Miller once again did not allow a run on Thursday night vs. Bowling Green. On Thursday, Miller pitched in front of his former college coach Bobby Pierce, who was serving as the color analyst for the television broadcast alongside John Nolan. The LaPorte, Ind., native who went to IPFW has posted a 0.42 ERA across 12 outings this year (22.2 IP). Miller has now posted 6 consecutive scoreless appearances dating back to May 11 when he allowed an unearned run at Kane County. The only time Miller gave up an earned run this season was May 9 @ Quad Cities.

SPEED DEMON: Esteury Ruiz has stolen 5 bases in the last 3 games played. He now leads the team with 16 stolen bags on the year.

TWICE AS NICE: After going 45 games without a shutout, Fort Wayne has posted 2 shutouts over its last 7 games. The TinCaps blanked West Michigan, 3-0, last Thursday, and did the same at Lansing on Monday.

BULLPEN SUCCESS: Since reliever Evan Miller was added to the 'pen on April 23, the TinCaps relief corps has posted a 3.37 ERA over 33 games. Along with Miller, the bullpen has been led by Travis Radke, Caleb Boushley, Jordan Guerrero, and Ben Sheckler, with a few changes along the way. Through the first 19 games of the year, the bullpen had a 7.47 ERA.
