LAST GAME: New Hampshire tallied early behind starter Kyle
Drabek with two in the first off Binghamton’s Eric Niesen and
put the game away with a seven-run sixth inning to knock off
the B-Mets 10-2 at NYSEG Stadium Friday night. Niesen settled
in after the two-run first and worked 4.2 innings, allowing
two runs on five hits with four walks to take the loss. Drabek
hurled six, shutout innings, limiting Binghamton to five hits
while striking out five for his ninth win. The Fisher Cats struck
the crippling blow in the sixth, battering Scott Shaw for seven
runs, including homers from Brian Jeroloman and Shawn
Bowman. Kirk Nieuwenhuis managed a pair of hits out of the
top spot in the order to extend his season-long hitting streak
to seven games and D.J. Wabick ripped three hits, including a
pair of doubles.
STARTING PITCHING MATCHUP: LHP Mike Antonini will make
his team-leading 18th start of the season tonight for the BMets.
Despite hurling his second straight quality start, the lefthander
dropped his seventh game at Altoona July 5 after
tossing six innings of three-run work with a career-high nine
strikeouts. On the year, Antonini is 5-7 with a 4.08 ERA over
99.1 innings. He leads the league in fewest walks per nine
innings with a 1.54 ratio and is fourth in WHIP (1.12). Antonini
went 7-5 with a 5.32 ERA over 25 appearances spanning 115
innings last year with Binghamton. He was the Mets’ 18thround
choice in the June 2007 draft out of Georgia College &
State University.
RHP Zach Stewart will make his 17th start of the year for the
Fisher Cats tonight. He has won three consecutive starts including
his last, July 5 at Portland, when he hurled seven
innings and allowed three runs (two earned) on eight hits.
Stewart is 7-2 with a 4.38 ERA over 88.1 innings. The righty
went 2-1 with a 6.02 ERA over his first nine starts (43.1 IP) in
April and May, but since he is 5-1 with a 2.80 ERA in seven
starts (45 IP). The former third-round pick of the Reds in 2008
out of Texas Tech was traded to Toronto along with Edwin
Encarnacion and Josh Roenicke for Scott Rolen last season.
