Recapish


            The Binghamton Mets won their second straight over Hartford Friday night, walking off with a win in the 13th on the same night Rafael Montero made his return to Binghamton. Montero’s return comes after he struggled so much with Las Vegas that the Mets demoted him. The B-Mets pen combined for 7 innings of scoreless relief after taking over for Montero in the 7th.
            Montero last pitched for Binghamton in 2013, when he was a rising star in the system, so this is quite a fall for a pitcher who is still on the 40-man roster. The Mets are hoping he can regain his form away from the hellish scoring environment of the PCL, and he appeared to take a step in the right direction with this start. He did issue two walks and got away with some stuff left up that might’ve been crushed in the PCL, but he was more effective than he had been in months.

            The B-Mets jumped ahead with a run in the 1st but Hartford was quick to tie it with a run of their own in the 2nd. The Yard Goats jumped ahead 2-1 with an unearned run in the 4th, and Binghamton got that run back in the 6th, which took Montero off the hook.
Rainy Lara was the first in to relieve Montero and he worked a scoreless inning in his first relief appearance of the year. Luis Mateo, David Roseboom, and Logan Taylor followed with two scoreless innings each, which gave the B-Mets plenty of chances to win, but they couldn’t break through against Hartford’s pen either – well, not until the 13th. Maikis De La Cruz came up as a pinch hitter with the bases loaded and one out in the 13th and he lined a game winning RBI single into CF to give Binghamton a walkoff win.
I break down the B-Mets scoring and defense highlights below, so enjoy!
