Tyler Pill may turn out to be the right man at the right time for the Binghamton Mets. With a starting rotation ravished in recent days by the loss of Michael Fulmer and John Gant to trading deadline moves and Seth Lugo elevated to Triple-A, Binghamton’s B-Mets starting rotation was sagging and their push for a third straight Eastern League playoff appearance was clearly in jeopardy.

Enter Tyler Pill.

Pill, who won his last nine games during Binghamton’s 2014 championship season, struggled maintaining his footing for Triple-A Las Vegas and was summoned back to Binghamton to reinforce the pitching strapped B-Mets. The B-Met right-hander has been nothing short of brilliant.

With Saturday’s 3-0 victory over New Hampshire, Pill improved his B-Met record to a perfect 4 wins without a loss. Pill has worked 23 2/3 innings allowing only 3 earned runs. That’s a sterling 1.19 ERA with 14 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings, a huge boost to the B-Met’s playoff push.

The Binghamton bats were mostly quiet on Saturday with the visitors scoring just 3 runs in the first inning of the first game of a twin bill then failing to score the rest of the night. All three runs scored after the first two B-Met hitters were retired in the first. Joe Benson doubled to ignite the rally. After Brock Peterson and Vince Belnome worked base-on-ball, Jonathan Galvez lofted a soft single to centerfield plating the first two Binghamton runs. Belnome later scored when Xorge Carrillo reached base on an infield error.

That was all Pill would need to move Binghamton one step closer to a playoff bid.

Binghamton failed to narrow their magic number in the nightcap falling to New Hampshire by the same 3-0 score. T.J. Rivera has the only hit in the game for the B-Mets.
