Binghamton 5, New Britain 2
The story of this game will be the health of Fernando. He had an RBI single to give the Mets a 3-2 lead, but then came up limping on a steal attempt, and had to leave the game (once more, thanks to MRCONSTRUCTIVECRITICISM on NYFS).
Update: On Brian Moritz' blog, he tells us FMart felt a slight pop in his right hammy. Not good, and they'll be uber careful with their prize prospect, one would think.
Onto the game. Dan Murphy had a 2 run homer in the first for the Mets, but Salvador Aguilar gave that right back in the 2nd. The Mets took the lead for good on FMart's RBI single in the 2nd, and tacked on runs in the 5th and 6th. Mike Carp missed his 5th straight game with a rib cage strain (maybe, if he's not out for long, this could be a good thing, he was slumping pretty badly when he got hurt). Every position player except Rafael Arroyo had a hit, Arroyo went 0 for 2, BB, K, .231.
Aguilar pitched an effective 5 innings, allowing 2 runs on 5 hits, including a homer. Interestingly, Eric Brown appeared in relief, pitching 2 perfect innings. Joe Hietpas and Eddie Kunz rounded out the effort, Kunz with his 8th save.

The Mets ran into one of the top pitching prospects in high A, Jeremy Hellickson, and it showed, they managed just 8 hits and 2 runs (on back to back homers by Ruben Tejada (his first stateside homer) and Leivi Ventura). Very quietly, Ruben Tejada's starting to hit again, he's had 3 multi hit games in his last 5, and over his last 6 games, he's hitting 8 for 21 (.381/.435/.524) with a homer, 2 RBI, 2 walks and 3 strikeouts. Aside from Tejada, Luis Rivera also had a multi hit game for the Mets, who fell to 8-30.
Nick Carr started and did not pitch terribly, allowing 3 runs and 6 hits over 6 innings, nonetheless, he was tagged with his fourth loss of the season.

Elvin Ramirez was very good today, throwing 6 innings of 2 hit shutout ball, striking out 8. Ramirez continues the trend of pitchers who started off slowly in their new league, and have since adjusted very nicely. Ramirez' first 3 GS in A ball produced these results: 1-1, 6.57 era, 3 GS, 12.1 IP, 16 H, 4/8 BB/K, 1.62 WHIP. And that includes his first start of 5 ip, 2 h, er, 2 bb, 4 k. However, since then, his last 5 GS have been much better, producing the following: 3-1, 1.73 era, 5 GS, 26 IP, 20 H, 9/24 BB/K, 1.12 WHIP.
Wendy Rosa gave up 2 runs in his 3 innings of work, not pitching well at all, but picking up a save nonetheless. The Gnats managed just 6 hits, but made them count. 5 players had those hits, while 4 went hitless Greg Veloz (0 for 2, 2 BBs, .229), Richard Pena (0 for 4, K, .240), Jordan Abruzzo (0 for 3, run, BB, K, .314), and Matt Bouchard (0 for 3, .225).
