Notes: Dinelson Lamet turned in another solid start for the Storm. Lames allowed just 2 hits over 5 innings pitched and earned his first victory of the season. Lamet had a break out season last year with the TinCaps turning in a 2.99 ERA and 120 strikeouts over 105.1 innings pitched. Javier Guerra has endured a bit of a slow start over the season’s first 6 games. Guerra has been held hitless over his last 2 games and has already struck out 12 times this year.
Fort Wayne TinCaps 1, Great Lakes Loons 3
Rod Boykin – LF: 0-3, 2K
Ruddy Giron – SS: 1-4
Michael Gettys – CF: 0-3, 3K, Run scored
Austin Allen – C: 1-4, 3K
Ty France – 1B: 3-3, 2 2B, RBI, BB
Luis Tejada – DH: 1-4, K
Walker Lockett – SP: 6.0 IP, 7H, 2R, 1ER, 1BB, 6K (L, 0-1)
Notes: Walker Lockett has been outstanding so far this season. Locket has thrown 11 innings and allowed just 10 baserunners and 1 earned run while striking out 12. Unfortunately, Lockett has been the victim of low run support hence the 0-1 record. Lockett has struggled in the past at Fort Wayne, so his start this year is very promising.
