LAST GAME: Drew Naylor orchestrated Reading’s second
straight well-pitched victory over the B-Mets Friday night in the
R-Phils 9-1 win. Naylor limited Binghamton to a run on five
hits over seven innings with a season-best 11 strikeouts to
earn his 11th win. Dylan Owen pitched well until the sixth
inning, when the first four batters reached, precipitating a fiverun
frame for Reading. Owen was charged with the loss after
allowing seven runs (six earned) on eight hits over five-plus
innings. Tuffy Gosewich led all hitters with a 3-4 night with
four RBI, including a pair of homers off Owen, who allowed a
season-high three homers in the losing effort. The B-Mets
were outhit 14-5. Josh Satin reached base three times for
Binghamton with a single, a walk and a hit by pitch. Jose Coronado
scored the B-Mets only run in the first inning on a Satin
RBI single after doubling to lead off the game.
GAME 1 STARTING PITCHING MATCHUP: RHP Eddie Kunz gets
the call for his second spot-start in last week. He started for
Chris Schwinden August 21 versus Altoona after Schwinden
suffered a left oblique strain while warming prior to the game.
Kunz proceeded to work three scoreless innings. The righty is
6-7 with a 5.22 ERA over 39 appearances (10 GS) spanning a
career-high 100 innings. He opened the season in the rotation
and is 4-3 with a 4.96 ERA as a starter (49 IP). Last year,
Kunz made 40 appearances for Buffalo (AAA) with a 4-5 mark
and a 5.02 ERA in 61 innings. He functioned as the B-Mets
closer in 2008 when he racked up 27 saves. The righty was
taken by the Mets in the supplemental first round (42nd overall)
of the June 2007 draft out of Oregon State.
LHP Yohan Flande is due to make his team-leading 26th start
of the season in Game 1. He garnered a no-decision in his last
start, August 23 at Richmond, when he allowed three runs on
eight hits over five innings. Flande is 9-7 with a 4.52 ERA over
145.1 innings, the fifth-most in the league. He split 2009 in
between Clearwater (High-A) and Reading making 26 total
starts with an 11-5 mark and a 3.48 ERA over 152.2 innings.
Flande is a member of the Phillies 40-man roster and pitched
for the World Team in the 2009 Futures Game. He was signed
by Philadelphia December, 13, 2004 out of the Dominican
Republic and is considered the No. 17 prospect in the Phillies
organization by Baseball America
