Loons Shutout Lugnuts 2-0; Wright Goes 5.2 Innings, a Career-Best

LANSING, Mich. – The Great Lakes Loons (40-29) (4-1) notched their sixth shutout win of the season, a 2-0 victory over the Lansing Lugnuts (29-41) (0-6) on a 76-degree partly cloudy Thursday night at Jackson® Field™.

- Dilan Figueredo tripled up on the slider to put down Carlos Franco to earn his second save of the season. Lugnuts had two on base for the first time in the game in the ninth, Figueredo immediately ended the threat.

- The Loons left eight on base on offense and had seven hits. Eduardo Guerrero led the way with three knocks. He extended the lead with a 410-foot solo home run over the left-center field wall in the ninth inning.

- Logan Wagner’s 105 mph RBI single put the Loons on the board in the fifth inning.
