LAST GAME: After a thrilling comeback in Monday’s game,
Binghamton put Tuesday’s contest away early, scoring nine
unanswered runs en route to a 9-5 win at NYSEG Stadium
over Altoona. The Curve jumped out to an early 2-0 lead on
Eric Niesen. The B-Mets responded with two runs in the bottom
of the second off Jared Hughes courtesy of an RBI single
from Raul Reyes and a Josh Satin sac fly. Binghamton put
away Altoona in the third with six runs. The B-Mets were
helped in the frame by two big Curve errors, causing all the
runs to be unearned. Reyes struck the crippling blow with a
grand slam to right off Hughes, upping the lead to 8-2. Niesen
departed to the win after five innings of three-run work.
Hughes was charged with the loss, allowing a season-high
nine runs over four innings. Manuel Alvarez finished out the
game with two scoreless innings.
STARTING PITCHING MATCHUP: LHP Mike Antonini will go for
his team-leading 16th start tonight. He notched a win in his
last start June 25 at Akron with 5.1 innings of two-run ball,
despite tying a season-high with three walks. Antonini has
racked up a 5-5 mark and a 4.07 ERA over 86.1 innings in
2010. He has walked the second-fewest hitters per nine innings
among starters in the Eastern League (1.56). Antonini
went 7-5 with a 5.32 ERA over 25 appearances spanning 115
innings last year with Binghamton. He was the Mets’ 18thround
choice in the June 2007 draft out of Georgia College &
State University.
LHP Justin Wilson will go for the 15th time this season for the
Curve. He is undefeated in his last seven starts, including a no
-decision in his last go-around, June 25 versus Bowie. Wilson
hurled six innings, allowed one run on three hits and struck
out six in the quality start. On the year, the lefty is 5-4 with a
2.87 ERA over 75.1 innings. His .208 batting average against
is the second-lowest in the Eastern League. Wilson made 26
starts in 2009 for Lynchburg (High-A) with a 6-8 mark and a
4.50 ERA over 116 innings. Pittsburgh took him in the fifth
round of the June 2008 draft out of Fresno State
