BINGHAMTON, NY - Brandon Moore stifled the Akron Aeros for seven innings as the Binghamton Mets won game two of a three-game series 4-0 Saturday at NYSEG Stadium.
Moore picked up the win for the B-Mets scattering two hits, striking out nine and walking none. Manny Alvarez pitched two innings of relief for Binghamton to record the save.
Right-hander Joe Gardner struggled in his first start since April 13. Gardner lasted just 2.2 innings and suffered the loss giving up one earned run on six hits, walking two and striking out two.
The lone run Gardner allowed came in the bottom of the second inning. The B-Mets opened the frame with an Eric Campbell leadoff single. Raul Reyes followed with a single that advanced him to third base. Allan Dykstra drove Campbell in with a sacrifice fly to right field that made it 1-0.
Binghamton (7-12) scored two more times off Aeros reliever Paolo Espino in the bottom of the sixth inning. Espino gave up three earned runs, but tossed five innings of relief striking out nine and walking none. Espino's five innings out of the bullpen were the most by an Aeros reliever in a single game this season.
The B-Mets capped their scoring in the bottom of the eighth inning on a Dykstra solo home run as they went on to the win.
