Portland Sea Dogs News Release
Binghamton, NY - The Portland Sea Dogs (10-14) received five strong innings from Mike Augliera (1-4) and defeated the Binghamton Mets (14-10), 4-1 on Monday night at NYSEG Stadium. Portland improves to 3-1 on the roadtrip and beats Binghamton for the first time this season.
Augliera earned his first win of the season, working 5+ innings on 6 hits, one run, 2 walks and 3 strikeouts. The former standout at Binghamton University notched his first career start against the Mets in six appearances.
The Sea Dogs snapped a 1-1 tie, taking the lead for good against losing pitcher John Gant (1-2) in the fourth. Luis Martinez cracked a two-run homer, his first home run in the Red Sox system, which proved to be the game-winning RBI. Carlos Asuaje added a run-scoring single.
Binghamton knocked Augliera out of the game in the sixth inning, putting the first 2 runners on base. Kyle Kraus retired Dustin Lawley and induced a 5-4-3 double play off the bat of Gavin Cecchini to end the inning.
Kyle Martin recorded the final six outs to covert his second save of the year. Reed Gragnani went 3-for-3 and reached base five times. Oscar Tejeda went 3-for-5 and has four straight multi-hit games.
Portland took a 1-0 lead in the first inning on a throwing error by Gant, scoring Jantzen Witte (1-for-4). Gant prevented further damage, fanning Martinez with the bases loaded to end the first.
Binghamton tied the game in the third inning off Augliera. Brandon Nimmo doubled and scored on a fielder's choice by Jayce Boyd.
