LAST GAME: Richmond lefty Clayton Tanner racked up his fourth win with a quality start to beat Binghamton 5-2 Tuesday night at The Diamond.

The southpaw worked only 4.2 innings, the second shortest start of the season for Antonini, who allowed four runs on five hits and walked a season-high three men to draw the loss. The B-Mets drew first blood in the fourth with a pair of runs on an Omir Santos RBI double and a D.J. Wabick sac fly. However, the Squirrels were quick to answer with three in the bottom of the same inning. Thomas Neal and Nick Noonan smashed RBI doubles and Clay Timpner pushed Richmond into the lead with a sac fly to left. The Flying Squirrels didn’t look back from there as Tanner carried the game through six before handing the ball to Tony Pena, Jr., who fired the seventh and eighth innings in scoreless fashion. Rafael Cova nailed down his 12th save with a 1-2-3 ninth. Nick Evans and Wabick managed two-hit days for Binghamton.
