Daily Farm Round-Up: 4-20-16
It was a good night on the farm as the Chihuahuas were the only team to endure a loss. The Storm had their best offensive night of the season while the TinCaps’ great pitching earned them another victory.

Notes: Carlos Asuaje’s 2-hit night raised his average to a round .300 over his first 40 ABs with the Chihuahuas.

Both Franchy Cordero and Edwin Moreno smacked 2 home runs while Javier Guerra, Josh VanMeter and River Stevens each hit one of their own. Javier Guerra in particular is finding his way out of a season opening slump as he’s raised his average from .125 to .225 over the last 5 days. The win improved the Storm’s record to 8-6.
Fort Wayne TinCaps 6, Lansing Lugnuts 1
Peter Van Gansen – SS: 2-5, 2B, RBI, 2 Runs scored
Michael Gettys – CF: 2-5, 2B, RBI, 3K

Logan Allen – RP: 4.0 IP, 2H, 0R, 2BB, 2K (W, 2-0)
Notes: Logan Allen has arguably been performing the best out of the 4 prospects received for Craig Kimbrel. In 3 appearances, Allen has thrown 10 innings while allowing just 1 run and 4 walks and striking out 11. His old schoolmate, Jacob Nix, has been equally impressive since a rough opening start as he’s allowed just 1 run over his last 2 starts combined.
