LAST GAME: Binghamton notched its second straight series
win with a 5-0 shutout victory over New Hampshire Thursday
night at Merchantsauto.com Stadium. Jenrry Mejia combined
with Dylan Owen on the one-hit masterpiece. Mejia tossed a
season-long seven innings and allowed the one hit, while
walking two and striking out a season-best eight men to earn
his first win. Owen hurled the final two frames and combined
with Mejia to retire the final 13 hitters that came to the plate.
The B-Mets jumped out to an early 2-0 lead with a Jordany
Valdespin RBI single and a Josh Satin solo homer in the first
inning. Satin and Salomon Manriquez added RBI doubles in
the fifth off starter Rey Gonzalez. Gonzalez was hung with his
fourth loss after allowing four runs on 11 hits over five innings.
Brahiam Maldonado rounded out the scoring with a
solo homer in the eight off former B-Mets righty Clint Everts.
STARTING PITCHING MATCHUP: LHP Robert Carson gets the
call for his seventh Double-A start tonight. He notched his first
win with Binghamton in his last go-around, August 14 versus
Reading. The southpaw allowed five runs on 11 hits over five
innings, but still managed the win. Carson is 1-4 with a 7.71
ERA over 30.1 innings. The lefty made 17 appearances in the
Florida State League and went 7-5 with a 4.17 ERA over 86.1
innings. He made 25 starts for Savannah (Low-A) in 2009 and
tallied an 8-10 mark with a 3.21 ERA over 131.2 innings to
garner South Atlantic League All-Star status. Carson was selected
in the 14th round of the June 2007 draft out of Hattiesburg
HS (MS).
LHP Justin Wilson is slated to make his 23rd start of the year
tonight for the Curve. He earned Eastern League Pitcher of the
Week honors for his last start, August 14 against New Hampshire,
when he tossed a season-best eight scoreless innings.
Wilson allowed just two hits and struck out a season-high 11
in the winning effort. He is 10-6 with a 3.13 ERA over 123.2
innings. Wilson is second in the Eastern League in batting
average against (.216) and tied for third in strikeouts (112).
Wilson made 26 starts in 2009 for Lynchburg (High-A) with a 6
-8 mark and a 4.50 ERA over 116 innings. Pittsburgh took him
in the fifth round of the June 2008 draft out of Fresno State
