The Akron Aeros fell to the Binghamton Mets in the opening game of the sevengame homestand Friday night at Canal Park 8-7. Aeros starting pitcher Ryan Edell was given a five run cushion going into the second inning after the Aeros offense came alive. Edell lasted a little more than three innings on Friday night against the Mets before the bullpen was called into the game. Edell allowed seven runs on nine hits, allowing two walks and striking out six Binghamton Mets. The Aeros fall five games under .500 with a record of 8-13 on the season after Friday's defeat to the Binghamton Mets.
The Aeros scored six runs in the bottom of the first inning, giving starting pitcher Ryan Edell a nice lead to work with during the game. The Mets scored one run in the first innings and another in the second inning before exploding for five runs in the top of the fourth inning, which gave them the lead 7-6. The Aeros answered back in the bottom of the fifth inning, making it a 7-7 ballgame. The Mets recorded a season high four triples in the game, all off starting pitcher Ryan Edell. The Aeros bullpen put together a solid outing not allowing a run until the top of the 10th inning when Aeros reliever Vinnie Pestano threw a wild pitch into the backstop allowing Kirk Nieuwenhuis to take first base. The Mets then scored when Lucas Duda reached on a fielding error by Nick Weglarz, allowing Nieuwenhuis to cross the plate putting the Mets up 8-7.
Aeros starter Ryan Edell made it through three innings on Friday night against the Mets. Edell gave up nine hits and seven runs while walking two and striking out six. Edell is 0-1 on the year with a 8.27 ERA through three starts with Akron. Edell has given up 16 runs in 16.1 innings of work this season. Chen Lee replaced Ryan Edell pitching 2.2 innings during Friday's contest allowing no runs, no walks and striking out one batter. Omar Aguilar was the next Aeros reliever who made it through 1.2 innings, giving up one hit, striking out two and walking two more. Neil Wagner made his tenth appearance of the season giving up only one hit on Friday. Vinnie Pestano was the fifth and final Aero to pitch in the game allowing one run on his way to being charged with his first loss of the 2010 season.
