TinCaps Win at Bowling Green, 5-2
The Fort Wayne TinCaps rode a solid performance from 25-year-old starting pitcher Rodrigo Sweeney to a win, beating the Bowling Green Hot Rods, 5-2, at Bowling Green Ballpark. Víctor Trujillo closed it out for Fort Wayne, earning his 6th save. Fort Wayne, at 59-69, holds down 4th place in the Eastern Division.

Fort Wayne used the timely hitting of Luis Arteaga to seize the win. The third baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the TinCaps on top, 4-2. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Obviously, you want to go out there and be good every time out," said Sweeney. "I take the ball every day with the same mindset."
