An inning later, Luis Almanzar hammered his 1st homer of the season, a solo shot. The 'Caps added an insurance run in the seventh, as Jeisson Rosario scored on a wild pitch. Osvaldo Hernandez battled through 6 innings of 1-run ball. Austin Smith held the lead with 2 scoreless, setting it up for Evan Miller's 4th save of the year.

BROOMS: The TinCaps are coming off a 3-game sweep of the Hot Rods, who have the best record in the league. It was Fort Wayne's 4th 3-game sweep of the year. Previously at home this season, the 'Caps swept Beloit (May 1-3), South Bend (May 18-20), and Great Lakes (June 15-17). The Hot Rods hadn't been swept since April 9-12 @ South Bend.

HOT CAPS: The TinCaps have won 5 in a row, matching their longest winning streak of the season. The team also won 5 consecutive contests May 16-20 vs. West Michigan and South Bend.

HOME SWEET HOME: The TinCaps went 8-2 on their 10-game homestand. Fort Wayne is 26-16 at home this year, including 18-6 since May 14.
