LAST GAME: Due to a rainout Sunday (game called in bottom of 1st), the TinCaps last played Saturday in a 4-3 loss to the Dayton Dragons. Fort Wayne climbed out of a 3-0 deficit in the eighth due to RBI extra-base hits from Carlos Luis and Agustín Ruiz, but a bases-loaded hit-by-pitch in the top of the 9th forced in Dayton's winning run.

WEATHER WOES: At home this year, the TinCaps have had 5 games postponed by rain, 1 suspended, 1 called early (8th inning), 1 delayed, and 1 canceled.

TRANSACTIONS: The Padres have transferred 23-year-old outfielder Justin Farmer and 20-year-old infielder Charlis Aquino to the TinCaps from Single-A Lake Elsinore, along with 20-year-old infielder Josttin Diaz from the Arizona Complex League... Joshua Mears has been transferred to Double-A San Antonio and outfielder Wyatt Ulrich was released.

ROSTER TURNOVER: The TinCaps are up to 27 position players and 31 pitchers this season, for 58 total. (Franchise record: 63 in 2016.)

JARRYD DALE: Ranks 4th in the Midwest League in games played (108), 5th in walks (62), and 8th in stolen bases (25).

CARLOS LUIS: Has reached safely in all 13 games he's played in. It's the 8th longest active on-base streak in the MWL.

AGUSTÍN RUIZ: Hit a solo home run and an RBI triple Thursday, which was fitting as he celebrated his 2-year anniversary with girlfriend, Andrea. He added a pair of doubles on Saturday night, with another RBI.

LITTLE LEAGUE DREAMS: Manager Brian Esposito played in the 1991 Little League World Series, representing Staten Island, New York. He was little league teammates with Jason Marquis, who went on to become an MLB All-Star pitcher. They reached the U.S. title game.

PATIENT: The TinCaps lead the MWL in walks drawn (4.5 per game).

260 TO THE SHOW: Since Fort Wayne's franchise was established in 1993, there've been 208 alumni who've gone on to appear in the majors, including 53 this season. The list grew last Friday as Wynton Bernard was called up to the Rockies from Triple-A Albuquerque. Bernard, a 31-year-old outfielder, played for the TinCaps in 2013... The alumni list also features 5 players who were selected to this year's MLB All-Star Game: Dodgers shortstop Trea Turner (2014), Mariners first baseman Ty France (2016), Braves starting pitcher Max Fried (2013-14), Cardinals starting pitcher Miles Mikolas (2010), and Pirates reliever David Bednar (2016-17).
