- Dominic Smith 1B: 1 for 4, 2 Runs, RBI, K
Yes, I typed the score correctly and no, they did not play football. Nice to see Gavin have back-to-back big games. Hopefully it is a sign of things to come for him going forward. Dominic Smith has a hit in 28 of his last 29 games.

Binghamton Rumble Ponies (51-39) 13, Akron RubberDucks (45-46) 0 F/7 Box Score
- Champ Stuart CF: 2 for 3, 3 Runs, 2B, 2 RBI, BB, K
- Kevin Taylor LF: 2 for 3, Run, RBI, BB
- Tomas Nido C: 3 for 4, 2 Runs, 2B, 2 RBI
The Rumble Ponies scored five in the second and seven in the third to win this one in a laugher. Nido had been struggling but had a big day yesterday to hopefully get him back on track.
- LHP P.J. Conlon (6-7, 3.81 ERA): 7 IP, 3 H, 2 BB, 8 K
Conlon was dominant and had more than enough. It’s been an up and down reason for the southpaw but he was able to deliver for his team yesterday. Conlon became the first Binghamton pitcher to record three shutouts in one season since Denny Harriger in 1993.

- Michael Paez SS: 1 for 3, BB
- Peter Alonso 1B: 1 for 3, Run, 2B, RBI, BB
- Patrick Mazeika C: 1 for 3, K
Peter Alonso continues his hot hitting. He is now hitting .254/.320/.475. His OPS would be good for 17th in the league if he qualified. He had a .486 OPS his first 21 games and a 1.024 OPS his last 28 games. Tim Tebow was 0 for 3 but picked up an RBI with a bases loaded walk.
- RHP Joe Shaw (6-5, 5.20 ERA): 6 IP, 4 H, BB, 8 K

Shaw hasn’t allowed a run in his last two starts spanning 13 innings. Bashlor has 61 strikeouts in 34.2 innings. He could be really good if he just exhibits a little bit more command.

- Matt Winaker 1B: 2 for 3, 2 Runs, BB
- Reed Gamache 3B: 3 for 4, 2B, RBI
- Quinn Brodey LF: 0 for 4, 2 K
Winaker has now moved to the lead off role thanks in large part to his .395 OBP. He still has not hit for much power but it is still way too early to worry about that.
- LHP Jose Carlos Medina (1-3, 2.41 ERA): 6 IP, 3 H, ER, 3 BB, 5 K
- RHP Tony Dibrell (0-0, 10.50 ERA): 2 IP, 2 H, ER, BB, 3 K

Medina has been very good thus far in the young season. He has shown great command prior to today’s game. Entering today, he had two walks in 27.2 innings.

- Jhoander Saez CF: 1 for 5

Newton has cooled off the last week or so but has still gotten on base at a great rate. He has hit .289 his last 10 games with 9 walks.
RHP Oscar Rojas (0-0, 1.80 ERA): 5 IP, 3 H, ER, 6 K
LHP Jefferson Escorcha (0-0, 0.00 ERA): 4 IP, 3 H, BB, 3 K

- Hansel Moreno SS: 1 for 5, Run, 2B, K

- Jeremy Vasquez 1B: 1 for 4, BB, K
The K-Mets were only able to manage 1 run in eleven innings despite 16 baserunners. Jeremy Vasquez is now hitting .342/.443/.582. He showed a great eye in college and has brought that over to his professional career.
- RHP Christian James (1-1, 0.74 ERA): 6 IP, 5 H, ER, BB, 7 K
- RHP Joshua Payne (0-0, 0.00 ERA): 2 IP, 4 K
- RHP Mac Lozer (0-0, 1.35 ERA): 2 IP, BB, H, 2 K
- RHP Stephen Villines (1-1, 1.69 ERA): 2 H, ER *did not record an out
James has been awesome this season and last night was no different, he’s allowed only 13 hits in 24.1 innings this year. He could make the Mets move him along faster if he keeps pitching like this.
If Trades of : Duda, Cabrera, Grandy, Bruce, Reed all happen. I hope to see the kids come up: Rosario, Smith, Cheech, Mcgowen & Plawecki I think has warranted a call up at some point.
You need to play Cheech and Plawecki for a few months so you can make a decision on next year. TDA has been a total bust except for the last half of 15.
Agreed. Kids need to come up and see what we have. Maybe cheech could be Utility guy or starting 2B. Maybe Plawecki figured something out in Triple A bc his glove was decent & improved but his Bat was lacking. I want to see McGowen up in the show as well.
