Brad Holt allowed a season-high 10 hits and Pirates top-prospect Pedro Alvarez smacked two doubles and drove in two runs leading to Binghamton’s 5-2 loss at Blair Country Ballpark Tuesday night. Holt allowed five runs, four earned, in 6.1 innings to take his fourth loss of the season with the B-Mets.
Binghamton (39-62) struck for a run in the first inning of starter Derek Hankins. Jose Coronado led off the game with a bloop single to right and was sacrificed up to second on a Ruben Tejada bunt. Josh Thole then grounded a single up the middle scoring Coronado to make it 1-0.
Altoona (41-63) responded with two runs in the bottom of the first to take the lead for good. With two outs, Jose Tabata singled to right to get the rally started. Alvarez followed with a double off the centerfield wall to score Tabata, tying the score. Then, Miles Durham doubled to right-center to bring Alvarez home, giving the Curve a 2-1 lead.
The B-Mets got back within a run in the fourth inning when Thole scored from second on a throwing error by Altoona shortstop Brian Friday, who was attempting to turn a double play. However, 3-2 was as close as Binghamton would get the rest of the way.
Altoona added single runs in the fifth and the seventh courtesy of RBI doubles from Alvarez and Friday to extend the lead to three runs at 5-2.
Hankins threw six innings for the second straight start, allowing two runs on four hits to notch his third win. He was followed by Michael Dubee, who tossed two scoreless frames, and Corey Hamman, who struck out a pair in the ninth to notch his first save.
Coronado extended his hitting streak to 13 games with a 2-4 showing as the leadoff hitter and Ike Davis extended his streak to 12 games with a 1-4 day at the plate.
