The Winnipeg Goldeyes are officially in a slump. Custom Ottawa Senators Jerseys . After a great 8-2 run to start the season, the Goldeyes have now lost two straight and six of their last seven. Wednesday night in Sioux Falls, the Goldeyes were beaten 10-7 by a Sioux Falls club that got to starter Alex Capaul and never let up. The Canaries scored one in the second, four in the third, two in the fourth and three in the fifth, as they scored 10 runs on 11 hits off Capaul. While Winnipeg battled back, they simply score enough to catch a team that eventually pounded out 14 hits. With the loss, the Goldeyes fell to 11-8, but theyll remain in first place in the American Associations North Division, one game ahead of the second place St. Paul Saints. Sioux Falls improved to 8-12, last in the North, but now only 3.5 games back of the Fish. "We just made bad made pitches in situations where we had to make good pitches to win the ball game," pitching coach Jamie Vermilyea told Paul Edmonds on the TSN 1290 post-game show. "We ran into a good starter tonight and we have to come back out tomorrow night and get back to our winning ways." While the Goldeyes had trouble pitching it on Wednesday, they had no trouble hitting. Down 7-1 after four innings, the Fish scored three in the fifth and three more in the seventh and made a game of it. In fairness, Aaron Correa came in to relieve Capaul after four-and-two-thirds innings and allowed no runs on just three hits to give the Goldeyes a chance to come back. Vermilyea said afterward that the young Capaul is a good pitcher who will get better as he pitches more. "There will come a time when hell get better," said Vermilyea. "He just needs more seasoning. He just needs to get a few more innings under his belt. Well get back out there in our next session and tinker a little bit. Hes still learning how to pitch. Hes throwing the ball more than pitching it right now. And he has to start focusing on every pitch. He can get a little lackadaisical. Well work on it. Hell get better." When the Goldeyes got going on offense, they got going. In fact, both teams had 14 hits and the Goldeyes had five players enjoy multi-hit games. Its just that Winnipeg fell into a hole so deep they couldnt climb out. Former Goldeyes right-hander Ben Moore (3-1, 4.19 ERA) was the winning pitcher, while Alan DeRatt picked up his fifth save of the season. Capaul (1-3, 10.70 ERA) suffered the loss. Thursday night, the Goldeyes and Canaries wrap up their series in Sioux Falls. Veteran righthanded ace Matt Rusch (3-1, 2.34 ERA) will get the start for the Goldeyes.
