John Maine allowed just one hit over four, shutout innings in a Major League rehab start and Eric Campbell roped three hits, including a homer, but Binghamton dropped their third straight game to the Trenton Thunder 10-2 at Waterfront Park Sunday afternoon. Maine struck out five Thunder hitters and departed after reaching his pitch limit. Maine, making his first rehab outing since being placed on the Disabled List May 21, walked the first hitter he faced on four pitches before settling in. The 29-year-old righty faced three over the minimum. Trenton (38-23) starter Hector Noesi was equally as good, dueling Maine in scoreless fashion through four. Brad Holt, who was displaced as result of Maine’s rehab outing, entered in the fifth as a piggyback starter. After hurling a scoreless fifth, Holt hit a wall in the sixth. With one out, Daniel Brewer doubled to the gap in left. Holt put the next two hitters on base via walks to load the bases. After a visit from pitching coach Mark Brewer, Holt hit Edwar Gonzalez with a pitch to force in the game’s first run. The floodgates opened from there. Jose Gil cleared the bases with a three-run triple to right and then scored on Luis Nunez’s double into the left-field corner. With five runs home, Holt was pulled in favor of Manuel Alvarez. Alvarez allowed Nunez to score courtesy of an RBI single from Justin Christian, capping the sixth-inning scoring and closing the book on Holt, who was charged for six runs in 1 1/3 innings to take the loss, his fifth.
