Dragons Lose at Home, 5-3
Dave Johnson, who is tied for 7th in the MID with a 1.25 WHIP, was locked in. The right-hander led the West Michigan Whitecaps to a 5-3 win against the Dayton Dragons at Fifth Third Field. Johnson, now 2-1, was the winner. In 5.1 innings, he gave up 7 hits, while striking out 4, walking 1, and allowing 2 runs. West Michigan is looking good at 69-33.

West Michigan used a clutch at-bat from Tomás Quintana to capture the win. The shortstop hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Whitecaps ahead, 4-0. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

Quintana called the win "a team effort."
