LAST GAME: The New Hampshire Fisher Cats launched three home runs in an eleven-hit attack to defeat the B-Mets 8-2 last night at NYSEG Stadium. The loss was Binghamton’s third consecutive matching their longest losing streak of the year. Mike McDade supplied a go-ahead two-run homer in the fourth, Ryan Goins went deep for three in the fifth and Brad McElroy capped the game with a two-run shot in the ninth. Greg Peavey matched a season-high with seven innings, but suffered his second loss of the year; both have come at the hands of the Fisher Cats at NYSEG Stadium. Brett Cecil allowed two runs on seven hits over a season-best seven innings to collect his third win. Danny Farquhar tossed two scoreless innings of relief to rack up his first save of the season.

STARTING PITCHING MATCHUP: LHP Mark Cohoon (2-5, 3.86) makes his ninth start of the season and second against the Fisher Cats. The southpaw allowed seven runs (five earned) on eight hits in a loss in his previous start against the New Britain Rock Cats on May 21. Cohoon went 4.2 innings, the shortest outing of his season. In his last two starts he has allowed 14 runs (12 earned) on 18 hits and watched his ERA rise from 2.06 to 3.86. The Texas native faced the Fisher Cats in his second start of the season on April 16. He suffered the loss, allowing two runs on seven hits over six innings. He got just one run of offensive support.

RHP Fernando Hernandez (0-1, 2.49) takes the mound to make the spot start for the Fisher Cats. Hernandez has made 13 relief appearances for New Hampshire this season. The righty spent eight days on the disabled list in the middle of April. Now in his tenth professional season, Hernandez was signed by the Toronto Blue Jays as a minor league free agent in February 2012. He has spent time with the Chicago White Sox, Oakland Athletics and New York Yankees organizations. Hernandez last appeared against the Portland Sea Dogs on May 24, tossing two scoreless innings of relief. Over his last 8.2 innings, Hernandez has allowed just one run and struck out 10 without allowing a run.
