Captains Shutout Loons 4-0, Snap Four-Game Winning Streak

EASTLAKE, Ohio. – The Great Lakes Loons (9-8) offense was blanked for the first time this year ending a season-best four-game winning streak, a 4-0 loss to the Lake County Captains (10-7) on a 71-degree partly cloudy Wednesday night at Classic Auto Group Park.

- Lake County scored three runs in the bottom of the first. Jose Devers delivered a leadoff double followed by three hits with two outs. Alfonsin Rosario on a 2-2 pitch rocked a ball over the left field bleachers, a two-run shot. Esteban Gonzalez added an RBI single, driving in a runner placed in scoring position after an error.

- Jaison Chourio, in the third, crushed his first High-A homer. From the second to the fifth, it was the lone blemish for Eriq Swan. The right-hander struck out three.

- Jordan Thompson had two of the Loons three hits, a double in the fourth, and a single in the ninth. He was left on second both times.

- Roque Gutierrez worked four scoreless innings and punched out five Captains. Gutierrez pitched four scoreless in his Loons debut on April 10th. Last week he pitched in Double-A earning a win for the Tulsa Drillers and was transferred back to Great Lakes this week.

- Kendall George walked twice, his third multi-walk game. The 20-year-old has walked 15 times in 16 games.
