AA Affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles
RHP Chris Schwinden (1-1, 5.40) vs. RHP Steve Johnson (1-3, 4.44)
Game #51 • Tuesday, June 1, 2010
Prince George’s Stadium • Bowie, MD • 7:05 p.m.
LAST GAME: In a back-and-forth contest in hot conditions at
NYSEG Stadium, errors took center stage in leading to Binghamton’s
7-6 loss versus Akron. The B-Mets were charged
with four errors, which contributed to four unearned runs.
Starter Eric Niesen was roughed up for five runs over 3.2
innings after walking five men. Scott Shaw was the hard-luck
loser. The former starter gave up an unearned run on five hits
over four innings of respectable relief. Binghamton was led by
shortstop Luis Hernandez, who managed a pair of doubles in
five trips to the plate. Kirk Nieuwenhius also added his eighth
homer of the season, a two-run shot in the fourth inning that
temporarily vaulted the B-Mets into the lead 6-5. Aeros starter
Kelvin De La Cruz allowed six runs over five innings and harnessed
a no-decision. Akron’s bullpen was the difference.
Connor Graham fired two, shutout innings for the win and
Omar Aguilar nailed down his second save despite loading the
bases in the ninth inning.
STARTING PITCHING MATCHUP: RHP Chris Schwinden will
make his third Double-A start tonight. He was roughed up for
five runs on 10 hits over four innings in a day game May 27
versus Richmond, a losing effort. Schwinden is 1-1 with a
5.40 ERA in 10 innings with Binghamton. He was named a
2010 Florida State League Mid-Season All-Star last week. He
opened the year with St. Lucie (High-A) and went 3-0 with a
1.83 ERA over 34.1 innings. Schwinden spent most of 2009
with Savannah (Low-A) where he was 9-6 with a 3.28 ERA over
115.1 innings. Schwinden was the Mets’ 22nd round selection
in the June 2008 draft out of Fresno Pacific University.
RHP Steve Johnson gets the call for the Baysox tonight. He
was harassed for five runs over four innings in his last start,
May 27 at Harrisburg. Johnson did not factor in the decision
despite issuing five walks. The righty is 1-3 with a 4.44 ERA in
10 starts spanning 52.2 innings and has walked 29 men,
which is tied for fourth-most in the Eastern League. Johnson
made seven starts with Bowie last year and was 3-2 with a
2.84 ERA in 38 innings. He was traded to Baltimore by the
Dodgers along with Josh Bell for George Sherrill July 30,
2009.
