Game #50 • Tuesday, May 29, 2012
FirstEnergy Stadium • Reading, PA • 7:05 PM
LAST GAME: Collin McHugh struck out a season-high eight and the B-Mets scored five runs in the sixth inning to defeat the New Hampshire Fisher Cats 6-2 yesterday. Binghamton took the final two games of the four-game series to earn a split. Outside of a two-run fourth inning, McHugh faced four batters or fewer in each of his other seven frames. He set a season-high by going eight innings. Fisher Cats starter Deck McGuire had a perfect game through five innings, but watched thing unravel in the sixth. The B-Mets scored five runs on two hits, three walks and two hit batsman against three different Fisher Cats pitchers in the frame. Adrian Rosario closed out the contest with a scoreless ninth inning.
STARTING PITCHING MATCHUP: RHP Miguel Batista (0-0, ---) takes the mound for the Binghamton Mets in a rehab start. The righty began the season on the New York Mets (NL) Opening Day roster. He went 1-1 with a 3.95 ERA in 13 games (4 starts) before being placed on the disabled list with lower back stiffness on May 20. Batista is in his second year in the Mets organization after signing with the club in July 2011. The veteran has pitched for 11 different clubs during his 23-year career.
RHP Julio Rodriguez (3-0, 2.64) makes his tenth start of the season and first career start versus the B-Mets. Rodriguez comes off a no-decision in his previous start against the Erie SeaWolves on May 24. He allowed five runs on six hits over 4.2 innings, the second-shortest outing of his season. Selected in the 8th round of the 2008 draft out of the Puerto Rico Baseball Academy (Gurabo, PR), Rodriguez is in his fifth professional season. He spent all of last year with the Clearwater Threshers (High-A), going 16-7 with a 2.76 ERA in 27 starts. He led the Florida State League in wins and was second in innings pitched (156.2) and strikeouts (168).
