Dragons aim to exploit TinCaps' struggling lineup

Dayton's lineup is led by Carter Graham with 17 home runs and 60 RBI, while Fort Wayne's best hitter, Alex McCoy, is batting just .268 with 55 RBI—a meaningful gap in offensive production between the teams.

Keys to the game

Abraham Parra has been Fort Wayne's workhorse pitcher, leading the staff with 5 wins and 82 strikeouts, matching Dayton's Beau Blanchard at 5 wins but outpacing him in strikeout volume.
Dayton's top reliever Reynardo Cruz brings 75 strikeouts to the mound, paired against a Fort Wayne rotation where Parra's 82 K's far exceed any backup support on the staff.
