Mets Minor League Report – August 30

MML Player of the Day - Aug. 30:    Binghamton SP Darin Gorski

Tucson (75-66) shocks Las Vegas (80-61) 3-1.

Another superb start from Rafael Montero is wasted: 6.1 IP, 0 R, 3 H, BB, 8 K.

With a 1-0 lead, Justin Hampson (BS, 8) (L, 6-4) comes in to pitch the 9^th and promptly gives up 3 runs on 3 hits (HR) to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

 

Kirk Nieuwenhuis: 2-4, RBI.

Juan Centeno: 2-2, BB, R.

 

　

Binghamton (84-54) blanks New Hampshire (67-70) 3-0.

 

Darin Gorski (W, 6-1) tosses an absolute gem: 7.0 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 0 BB, 5 K. Although Gorski didn’t do too well in Las Vegas earlier, (not many do) he has shown what he can do when he is closer to sea level in Binghamton. With a 1.83 ERA and 0.86 WHIP, Gorski is looking more and more like a potential bull pen piece or a valuable trade chip.

Frank Francisco pitches a strong 8^th (1 H) and Jeff Walters (S, 38) an equally strong 9^th. (H, 2 K)

 

Travis Taijeron: 1-4, 2B, 2 RBI.

A quality start for Octavio Acosta: (W, 1-1) 6-1 IP, 3 R, 5 H, (HR) BB, 7 K.

Randy Fontanez (1.2 IP) and T.J. Chism (S, 20) (1.0 IP) hold the Hammerheads without a base runner for the rest of the game.

 

Kevin Plawecki: 2-3, 2 2B, RBI, R.

Charley Thurber: 2-5, 2 2B, 2 RBI, R.
