LAST GAME: Binghamton got a quality start out of its starter


for the second straight day, but lost 5-4 as the bullpen squandered


a 2-1 lead after the sixth. Chris Schwinden hurled six


innings and limited Harrisburg to a run on two hits with six


strikeouts to take a no-decision Wednesday afternoon. The


Senators plated four runs in the seventh. Four straight hitters


reached against the combination of Eddie Kunz and Roy Merritt,


yielding three quick runs to vault Harrisburg into a 4-2


lead. Dylan Owen followed and permitted an RBI single to


Brad Coon that proved to be the difference in the game. Josh


Satin homered for the second straight game, a two-run, eighth


-inning shot off Dan Leatherman that inched the B-Mets within


a run of the lead. In the ninth, Binghamton put runners at


second and third with no outs, but failed to score. Cole Kimball


settled down and stranded the bases full in picking up his


fifth save. Tom Milone picked up his second straight win over


the B-Mets with a seven-inning, two-run effort highlighted by


seven strikeouts. Satin was a perfect 3-3.



STARTING PITCHING MATCHUP: RHP Jenrry Mejia looks to


build upon his best start of the season tonight. He worked 4.1


scoreless innings versus Trenton and allowed just three hits


and struck out four in the no-decision. With the B-Mets, Mejia


is 0-0 with a 1.17 ERA over three starts (7.2 IP). The 20-yearold


righty appeared in 30 games out of the bullpen for New


York (NL) at the start of the season and recorded a 3.25 ERA


over 27.2 innings. Mejia made 10 starts for Binghamton last


season and was winless with an 0-5 mark and a 4.47 ERA


over 10 starts (44.1 IP). The Santo Domingo, DR native is a


member of the Mets’ 40-man roster and was signed as a nondrafted


free agent April 4, 2007.



RHP Mike Cisco is due to make his 12th start of the season


for the R-Phils tonight. He suffered the loss in his last turn


through the rotation, August 7 versus Erie, when he allowed


seven runs on eight hits over four innings. Cisco is 3-8 with a


5.37 ERA over 58.2 innings. He opened 2009 with Clearwater


(High-A), where he was 7-3 with a 3.31 ERA over 73.1 IP and


closed year with Reading (AA), with whom he was 2-4 with a


4.58 ERA over seven starts (39.1 IP). Cisco was drafted in the


36th round of the June 2008 draft out of the University of


South Carolina. He is considered the No. 23 prospect in the


Phillies organization by Baseball America. Cisco is the grandson


of former New York Met  Galen Cisco.
