before the Curve came away with a 6-5 victory courtesy of

The bulk of the game’s run-scoring came in the fourth when
Altoona broke on top 4-0 against Robert Carson. Hector Gimenez
capped the frame with a two-run double to deep center.
Binghamton retaliated in the bottom of the frame with
three runs of their own off Justin Wilson. Jordany Valdespin
started the scoring with a two-run double to right. The B-Mets
rallied to tie in the seventh on Valdespin RBI single. Both
teams tallied runs in the eighth to keep the score even at five,
sending the contest into extras. Michael Dubee picked up the
win for Altoona with two scoreless innings of relief. Valdespin
led Binghamton with a three-hit showing, including two RBI.
Carson allowed four runs over six innings in the start.
STARTING PITCHING MATCHUP: RHP Chris Schwinden will
make his 15th start of the year for Binghamton tonight. His
last start was a masterpiece at Harrisburg August 11 when he
limited the Senators to a run on two hits over six innings, but
took a no-decision. Schwinden is 4-7 with a 5.56 ERA over
79.1 innings. Opposing hitters are hitting .306 against him.
He opened the year with St. Lucie (High-A) and went 3-0 with a
1.83 ERA over 34.1 innings. He spent most of 2009 with
Savannah (Low-A) where he was 9-6 with a 3.28 ERA over
115.1 innings. Schwinden was the Mets’ 22nd round selection
in the June 2008 draft out of Fresno Pacific University.
LHP Rudy Owens is due for his 24th turn in the Curve’s rotation.
He worked five scoreless innings in his last start August
15 versus New Hampshire. He allowed five hits and struck out
six in the no-decision. Owens is 9-6 with 2.64 ERA over 133
innings and has issued just 22 walks. The southpaw ranks
second in the Eastern League in ERA, fifth in strikeouts (112),
first in WHIP (1.01) and second in BB/9 IP (1.49). Owens was
named the South Atlantic League’s most outstanding pitcher
last season when he went 10-1 with a 1.70 ERA over 19
starts (100.2 IP) with West Virginia (Low-A). The Pirates took
him in the 28th round of the June 2006 draft and signed him
as a draft and follow.
