LAST GAME: Binghamton dug itself an early 6-0 hole, but
emerged to tie the game after batting in the fifth, however
Portland retook the lead in the bottom of the frame and went
on to win 7-6 at Hadlock Field Monday night. Robert Carson
suffered his sixth loss after allowing seven runs on nine hits
over five innings. The Sea Dogs plated a run in the first on an
RBI single from Nate Spears and chalked up five runs in the
second, which was capped by a two-run double from Luis
Exposito. The B-Mets broke onto the scoreboard in the third
with an RBI single from Jordany Valdespin, trimming the deficit
to five, 6-1. 10 men came to the plate in the fifth and
scored five runs on seven hits to tie the score. However, Carson
gave the lead back in the bottom of the fifth courtesy of a
pair of walks and an Anthony Rizzo sacrifice fly. Ryne Reynoso
worked 3.1 scoreless innings to pick up the win in relief.
STARTING PITCHING MATCHUP: RHP Eric Beaulac is due to
make his second Double-A start tonight for the B-Mets. He
allowed three runs on six hits and six walks over five innings
at Reading August 26 to take the loss in his Binghamton debut.
Beaulac opened the season with St. Lucie (High-A) and
racked up a 5-5 mark and a 3.59 ERA over 102.2 innings.
Opposing hitters hit just .237 against him. In 2009, he spent
the year in Savannah’s (Low-A) rotation and went 7-7 with a
2.95 ERA over 116 innings with 133 strikeouts, the secondmost
among Mets’ minor league pitchers. New York (NL)
drafted Beaulac in the ninth round of the June 2008 draft out
of LeMoyne College.
RHP Stephen Fife will make his team-leading 25th start of the
season tonight for the Sea Dogs. He lasted just four innings in
his last start August 26 at New Hampshire where he allowed
two runs (one earned) on four hits in a no-decision. Fife is 6-6
with a 5.03 ERA over 125.1 innings. He is 0-3 with a 10.62
ERA over five August starts (20.1 IP). Fife made 18 starts
between Greenville (Low-A) and Salem (High-A) last season
and went 3-5 with a 3.71 ERA over 87.1 innings combined. He
was Boston’s fourth-round pick in the June 2008 draft out of
the University of Utah.
COHOON CALLING THE SHOTS: B-Mets southpaw Mark Cohoon
has been a man possessed in the month of August. Over
five starts, he is 4-0 with a 1.60 ERA in 33.2 innings of work,
dropping his ERA to 4.36. He has won four straight starts
courtesy of four consecutive quality starts.
