B-Mets Ride Long Ball Past Suns, 6-1
ST. LUCIE, FL – The Binghamton Mets launched three home runs to beat the Jacksonville Suns, 6-1, today at the New York Mets Spring Training facility. The Suns are the Double-A affiliate of the Miami Marlins.
Eudy Pina, an outfielder out of the Dominican Republic, delivered the critical blow, a three-run homer. Pina hit five home runs with the Brooklyn Cyclones (SS-A) in 2012. Aderlin Rodriguez ripped a solo home run and also chipped in with an RBI single.
The run support was more than enough for starter Tyler Pill, who tossed 5-1/3 shutout innings for the victory. Pill was scooped up in the fourth round of the 2011 draft and went 9-5 with a 2.31 ERA between the Savannah Sand Gnats (Low-A) and St. Lucie Mets (High-A) last year.
The B-Mets continue their 11-game Spring Training schedule Tuesday against the Springfield Cardinals in Port St. Lucie, Florida.
