Recap


            The Binghamton Mets had a team cycle Sunday evening, but unfortunately they had no other hits, and Akron rode a big 5th inning to a 4-2 victory. The early surprise of 2015, Seth Lugo, had allowed only one walk in each of his last 5 starts (and 0 in his first start), but then walked two of three batters in the 5th inning, throwing two wild pitches along the way. That stretch came after he allowed the first two batters of the 5th to hit a bomb and then a double, and Akron would string together three runs total in the inning. Bobby Parnell took over for Lugo in the 7th (more specifics below), pitching at NYSEG stadium for the first time since 2008, and worked around a one-out double, with one strikeout in the inning – he topped out at 94 MPH. The final 11 B-Mets batters were retired in a row, as the Akron bullpen was perfect in relief of Mike Clevinger.
            Check out more from this game below. The series wraps up Monday afternoon at 1 PM, with Rainy Lara scheduled to pitch for Binghamton, and the B-Mets looking to win the 4-game set.


Scoring Highlights


            Josh Rodriguez hit his 8th homerun of the season with one out in the 1st, tying the game at 1. Jayce Boyd followed with a single, but David Cooper ended the frame with a GIDP.




            Eudy Pina hit a two out triple into the left center field gap in the 5th, but he’d be stranded there.


            Gilbert Gomez led off the 6th with a double, and then came home on a wild pitch, which is how the 9th inning of their walkoff Saturday went.
