Win Streak Now at 6 for Whitecaps
Elijah Moore, who is tied for 10th in the MID in complete games with 1, had a strong outing for the West Michigan Whitecaps against the South Bend Cubs at Fifth Third Ballpark. The left-hander was a big part of his team's 3-1 win. In 7 innings, Moore surrendered 5 hits, while striking out 7 and walking 0. He allowed 1 run. The third-place Whitecaps lifted their record to 27-24.

Matt Garduno had a big 3-run home run for the Whitecaps in the bottom of the fourth inning. With West Michigan trailing 1-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a fastball from 20-year old right-handed pitcher Vicente Villanueva and swatted a home run to right-center. It was his 3rd home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Whitecaps ahead, 3-1.

"Not enough offensively in a winnable game," said losing manager Roy Ofstad.
