Prospect Watch: Three TinCaps combined to toss the fourth no-hitter in Fort Wayne franchise history.

The 21-year-old righty then got a comebacker, but threw wildly to second base to put runners on the corners. He bounced back to get a double-play ball and then finish off his outing with his 10th groundout of the game. Baez struck out four The as he lowered his ERA to 2.88, good for third in the Midwest League. He leads the circuit with a .201 opponents average  and his 76 strikeouts in 72 innings are in the top 10. … Baez was relieved by Will Geerdes, who delivered a perfect eighth inning.

Storm 4, Fresno Grizzlies 0

Key Statistics: RHP Ian Koenig, 4 IP, 1 H, 5 K; RHP Will Varmette (W, 3-3), 3 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 2 K; LHP Daniel Camarena, 2 IP, 1 H, 1 K; SS Leodalis De Vries, 1-for-4, 2B, R, RBI; 3B Rosman Verdugo 1-for-4, HR (9), 2 K; LF Wyatt Hoffman, 1-for-3, 3B

Prospect Watch: In yet another sensational pitching performance in the system, the Storm held Fresno scoreless on just three hits thanks to a trio of solid outings.

Over his last 18 outings, he’s pitched to a 3.86 mark. … The game was finished off by two scoreless innings from veteran lefty Daniel Camarena. Camarena, who always carries a soft spot in Padres fans’ hearts, began the year with El Paso before being assigned to the complex in Peoria and now Lake Elsinore after a brief stop at Petco Park to throw batting practice for Xander Bogaerts. … Leo De Vries doubled off the wall in left to continue to make his presence felt for the Storm as the season goes on. The shortstop is slashing .382/.475/.794 in 34 at-bats for Lake Elsinore this month. … Rosman Verdugo followed De Vries’ double by crushing a two-run homer, his ninth of the season. The 19-year-old is slugging .886 this month.  … Wyatt Hoffman, fresh off a highlight-reel catch in left field, hit the second triple of his professional career. The 25-year-old utility player is batting .209 with a .640 OPS in 187 at-bats.

Prospect Watch: In a game of solid pitching performances, Langston Burkett stood out with two-plus scoreless innings in which he worked out of an inherited bases-loaded jam. The 19-year-old Santa Cruz native stands 6-foot-6 and is in his first professional season after signing with the Padres last summer. Burkett has struggled with lingering arm soreness since spring training, but has flashed a heavy fastball with good life. Friday was his first inning of more than one inning since early May. … 18-year-old Jimmy Reyes finished things off with a scoreless frame of his own. The Dominican righty is 0-2 with a 6.88 ERA in 17 innings of work in 2024, 5.1 of which have come since coming stateside from the Padres’ complex in his native country. … The lone RBI of the evening belonged to Colton Vincent as the switch-hitter got the start in right field.

He’s struck out 21 times in 45 trips to the plate
