The Whitecaps lost 6 to 2 to Lansing. Spencer Torkelson drove in the second and his final RBI at West Michigan with a sac fly to center. He was named the High-A Central Player of the week after posting a good week.

Kyle Glaser of Baseball America added a stat about his rough start that should make your eyes open a bit.

Daniel Cabrera finished 2-for-4 on the day and Trei Cruz had the other RBI with a single and finished the day going 1-for-3. On the week, they split the series with Lansing.
