LAST GAME: Binghamton dug itself an early 6-0 hole, but


emerged to tie the game after batting in the fifth, however


Portland retook the lead in the bottom of the frame and went


on to win 7-6 at Hadlock Field Monday night. Robert Carson


suffered his sixth loss after allowing seven runs on nine hits


over five innings. The Sea Dogs plated a run in the first on an


RBI single from Nate Spears and chalked up five runs in the


second, which was capped by a two-run double from Luis


Exposito. The B-Mets broke onto the scoreboard in the third


with an RBI single from Jordany Valdespin, trimming the deficit


to five, 6-1. 10 men came to the plate in the fifth and


scored five runs on seven hits to tie the score. However, Carson


gave the lead back in the bottom of the fifth courtesy of a


pair of walks and an Anthony Rizzo sacrifice fly. Ryne Reynoso


worked 3.1 scoreless innings to pick up the win in relief.



STARTING PITCHING MATCHUP: RHP Eric Beaulac is due to


make his second Double-A start tonight for the B-Mets. He


allowed three runs on six hits and six walks over five innings


at Reading August 26 to take the loss in his Binghamton debut.


Beaulac opened the season with St. Lucie (High-A) and


racked up a 5-5 mark and a 3.59 ERA over 102.2 innings.


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 secondmost


among Mets’ minor league pitchers. New York (NL)


drafted Beaulac in the ninth round of the June 2008 draft out


of LeMoyne College.



RHP Stephen Fife will make his team-leading 25th start of the


season tonight for the Sea Dogs. He lasted just four innings in


his last start August 26 at New Hampshire where he allowed


two runs (one earned) on four hits in a no-decision. Fife is 6-6


with a 5.03 ERA over 125.1 innings. He is 0-3 with a 10.62


ERA over five August starts (20.1 IP). Fife made 18 starts


between Greenville (Low-A) and Salem (High-A) last season


and went 3-5 with a 3.71 ERA over 87.1 innings combined. He


was Boston’s fourth-round pick in the June 2008 draft out of


the University of Utah.


COHOON CALLING THE SHOTS: B-Mets southpaw Mark Cohoon


has been a man possessed in the month of August. Over


five starts, he is 4-0 with a 1.60 ERA in 33.2 innings of work,


dropping his ERA to 4.36. He has won four straight starts


courtesy of four consecutive quality starts.


LEFTY LABORING: B-Mets LHP Robert Carson has had a tough


go of it at Double-A so far with a 1-6 mark and an 8.74 ERA.


He has allowed four earned runs or more in all but one of his


nine starts and opponents are hitting .351 against him.
