LAST GAME: The B-Mets are making come-from-behind wins a


habit as they overcame an early 3-0 deficit to win 11-6 over


Akron Saturday night. Binghamton has now won three straight


games in come-from-behind fashion. Mark Cohoon notched


the win his Double-A debut despite permitting five runs on a


season-high 11 hits over 5.2 innings. Scott Barnes was not as


fortunate for Akron. The southpaw was hung with the loss


after allowing nine runs, five of which were earned, over fourplus


innings. Nick Evans led the B-Mets 14-hit attack with a


four-hit showing. All four were extra-base hits, including three


doubles and a homer. Evans scored three runs and drove in


two. Raul Reyes also recorded a huge night with three hits,


two of which were homers, and three RBI. Jerad Head provided


the big day for the Aeros, who also managed 14 hits.


Head was a perfect 4-4 with a pair of doubles and an RBI.



STARTING PITCHING MATCHUP: RHP Jenrry Mejia will make


his second Double-A start of 2010 on three days rest. He


hurled 2.1 innings of one-run ball against New Britain June 23


at NYSEG Stadium last time out. The 20-year-old righty appeared


in 30 games out of the bullpen for New York (NL) and


recorded a 3.25 ERA over 27.2 innings. Mejia made 10 starts


for Binghamton last season and was winless with an 0-5 mark


and a 4.47 ERA over 10 starts spanning 44.1 innings. The


Santo Domingo, DR native is a member of the Mets’ 40-man


roster and was signed as a non-drafted free agent April 4,


2007.



LHP Kelvin De La Cruz will try to prevent Akron from being


swept with his 10th start with the Aeros. He took the loss in


his last outing after tossing five innings of four-run work versus


Richmond June 22 at Canal park. De La Cruz is 1-4 with a


5.61 ERA over 43.1 innings with 30 walks. He opened the


year in Kinston’s (High-A) rotation and went 2-2 with a 2.91


ERA in six starts spanning 34 innings. De La Cruz made just


five starts last year due to a strained ligament in his throwing


elbow. He is considered the No. 13 prospect in the Indians


system by Baseball America.
