NEWS & NOTES
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON: The TinCaps lost the rubber match of
their series at Cedar Rapids, 4-1. The Kernels put up a pair in the
second and added 2 more in the fifth. Fort Wayne’s only run came on
a Fernando Tatis Jr. RBI single in the sixth.
ROSTER MOVES (ON): Today the Padres reinstated outfielder Jorge
Oña from Fort Wayne’s Disabled List. Oña had been out since
sustaining a mild quad strain on April 23 at Great Lakes as he was
running out a groundball. In addition, utility man Nate Easley and right
-handed pitcher Jose Galindo have joined the TinCaps from Extended
Spring Training in Arizona. (See the following pages for more.)
ROSTER MOVES (OFF): Right-handed pitcher Evan Miller (the
former Fort Wayne Mastodon), utility man Tyler Selesky, and Alan
Garcia have been transferred to Extended Spring Training.
PADRES HERE: The following members of San Diego’s Player
Development Staff are here… Assistant Director, Player Development
Ben Sestanovich, Coordinator of Instruction Ryley Westman, and
Pitching Coordinator Mark Prior.
TOUGH SCHEDULE: The TinCaps have played as many away
games (18) as anyone in the MWL so far, including 13 of their last 17.
While Fort Wayne has won 4 of its last 6 at home, the team is 5-13 on
the road. The TinCaps have pitched much better at home (2.70 ERA)
than away (5.49 ERA).
LATE NIGHTS: The TinCaps arrived back from Cedar Rapids around
2 a.m. — about the same time the Yankees scored in the top of the
18th inning at Wrigley Field in their 5-4 win over the Cubs. While that
was the longest MLB game so far this year, the South Bend Cubs
beat the Clinton LumberKings in 19(!) innings on Saturday (well, it
started on Friday, but was suspended at 1 a.m. Saturday morning
because of the league’s curfew rule).

Anthony Contreras (Manager) is in his second season as Fort Wayne’s manager and is the first former Fort Wayne player to return to manage the team. Contr eras, 32, led the
TinCaps to a 62-78 record in his first season as TinCaps manager. Contreras came to Fort Wayne after managing the Padres' Short-Season A affiliate, the Tri-City Dust Devils (Northwest

Rookie-level Peoria Padres (Arizona League). Contreras, who grew up in San José, California, played collegiately for four years at San José State (2002-05). The San Francisco Giants
selected Contreras in the ninth round of the 2005 First-Year Player Draft. Over nine years in Minor League Baseball that peaked in Triple-A, he sported a .257 batting average. He played
in San Diego's organization from June 2008-August 2013. With the Wizards, Contreras had one of the best statistical stretches of his career. In 36 second-half games, he played second
base, third, and shortstop, and batted .304. Coincidentally, Contreras concluded his playing career with the Lancaster Barnstormers of the independent Atlantic League in 2013.
Burt Hooton (Pitching Coach) returns to Fort Wayne and the Padres organization for his fifth season. Hooton, who once threw a no -hitter for the Cubs against the Phillies on April
16, 1972, spent 15 years in the majors with the Cubs (1971-75), Los Angeles Dodgers (1975-84), and Texas Rangers (1985). He finished his major league career with a 151-136 record
with 1,491 strikeouts more than 2,652 innings pitched. For the World Series champion Dodgers in 1981, Hooton was named an All-Star and MVP of the National League Championship
Series. The Greenville, Texas native began his coaching career in the Dodgers organization in 1988 and has made six different coaching stops prior to joining Fort Wayne. Among those
stops, Hooton served as the Houston Astros pitching coach from 2000-04.
Doug Banks (Hitting Coach) is in his first season as the hitting coach in Fort Wayne and his second season with the Padres organization. Last season, Ba nks was the hitting
