LAST GAME: Binghamton dropped the finale of its three-game


set with New Britain 8-6 Wednesday night at NYSEG Stadium.


Robert Carson made his eighth start and acquitted himself


well until a troublesome fourth inning that saw the Rock Cats


chalk up four runs. Juan Portes did the bulk of the damage


with a three-run homer and Tobias Streich rounded out the


frame with an RBI single that vaulted New Britain into a 5-1


lead. Carson was hung with the loss after allowing seven runs


on seven hits over four-plus innings. Rock Cats’ starter Bobby


Lanigan lasted just three innings, but limited the B-Mets to a


run before giving way to Mike McCardell. McCardell was credited


with the win for tossing three innings of two-run relief. The


righty gave up a two-run blast to Brahiam Maldonado in the


fourth that brought Binghamton within two. The B-Mets made


one more feverish rally in the ninth to get within two, but Billy


Bullock struck out Raul Reyes with the tying runs aboard in


the ninth to nail down the save, his 12th.

 STARTING PITCHING MATCHUP: RHP Eric Beaulac will make


his Double-A debut tonight at Reading. He opened the season


with St. Lucie (High-A) and racked up a 5-5 mark and a 3.59


ERA over 102.2 innings. Beaulac’s final start in the Florida


State League was August 21 versus Jupiter when he allowed


five runs over six innings and took the loss. Opposing hitters


hit just .237 against him. In 2009, he spent the year in Savannah’s


(Low-A) rotation and went 7-7 with a 2.95 ERA over 116


innings with 133 strikeouts, the second-most among Mets’


minor league pitchers. New York (NL) drafted Beaulac in the


ninth round of the June 2008 draft out of LeMoyne College.

 RHP Mike Cisco will make his 14th start for the R-Phils tonight.


He took a loss in his last start, August 20 at Erie, where


he allowed five runs (three earned) on eight hits over six innings.


Cisco is 3-9 with a 5.12 ERA over 70.1 innings and has


walked just 18 over that stretch. He opened 2009 with Clearwater


(High-A), where he was 7-3 with a 3.31 ERA over 73.1 IP


and closed year with Reading (AA), with whom he was 2-4 with


a 4.58 ERA over seven starts (39.1 IP). Cisco was drafted in


the 36th round of the June 2008 draft out of the University of


South Carolina.
