Recap

            Dillon Gee continued his 2015-rehab tour of the Mets minor league farm system with a start for Binghamton Wednesday night. He turned in a quality start, but took the loss behind an offense that had to have him feeling like he was back in Queens. Portland starter Cuevas was effectively wild, as advertised, and the B-Mets bats couldn’t come to life against the pen either, which has been their specialty this year. Eudy Pina had a nice night at the plate after his move to the 7-spot in the lineup, adding another XBH and walk, although he also added another strikeout. Check out the ‘scoring highlights’ from this game below.

            Gee worked through the first two innings with little problem, allowing only a walk in the 2^nd. He’d allow a leadoff single in the 3^rd, but induced a double play grounder to the next batter. Unfortunately, despite a solid toss from Cecchini, Jairo Perez airmailed his throw to 1B, which allowed the batter to advance to 2B. The next batter lined a single into CF to tie the game up at 1. In the 4^th, Portland would smoke back-to-back two out doubles off of Gee to jump ahead 2-1. Gee worked around another Jairo error in the 6^th, and entered the 7^th with 88 pitches. He’d face two batters in the 7^th, walking the first before picking up his fourth strikeout of the night and departing. Koch replaced him and could not escape the frame without allowing that inherited runner to score, which turned out to be a huge moment in the game.

            The series wraps up Thursday at 10:35 AM, with Luis Cessa scheduled to pitch for Binghamton as they look to salvage a win.

Scoring Highlights

            The B-Mets scored their first run in the 2^nd without a hit: the first 3 batters reached (BB, HBP, BB) to load the bases, and then a Eudy Pina sac fly brought home Jayce Boyd.

            Gilbert Gomez lined an RBI single into LF in the 7^th to bring home Pina for the second B-Mets run.

            Pina led off the 9^th with his fourth double of the year.
