The Binghamton Mets scored three times in the third, but the Harrisburg Senators put together two four-run innings en route to an 8-3 win at Commerce Bank Park Tuesday. The game was called after six innings because of rain. Binghamton's win streak ends at five games.

With one out in the first, Harrisburg (34-22) had six straight baserunners reach against Eric Brown. Luke Montz picked up an RBI double before Luis Jimenez hit a three-run homer that put the Senators up 4-0.

The B-Mets (29-28) rallied against Harrisburg starter Jordan Zimmerman in the third. Eric Reed and Jose Coronado drew back-to-back, one-out walks before Daniel Murphy doubled in Reed and Caleb Stewart's groundout scored Coronado. After Mike Carp walked, Ambiorix Concepcion's bloop-base hit to center brought in Murphy, cutting Harrisburg's lead to 4-3.

However, Harrisburg put the game away against Brown (2-5) in the fourth, thanks to back-to-back RBI doubles by Garrett Guzman and William Bergolla and Montz's two-run homer.

Zimmerman was pulled after four innings and replaced by Levale Speigner (1-0), who tossed two shutout innings of relief for the win. Eude Brito faced the minimum over his two scoreless innings of relief work for the B-Mets.

Wednesday, the Binghamton Mets play the second game of a three-game series against the Harrisburg Senators. Bobby Parnell (4-3, 4.78) will start for the B-Mets against lefty Mike Hinckley (2-0, 5.02) of Harrisburg. The first pitch is slated for 6:35 p.m. at Commerce Bank Park with the radio broadcast starting at 6:20 on Newsradio 1290 WNBF.

Notes: over the first eight games of the current 10-game road trip, Binghamton's bullpen has allowed one earned run over 22 1/3 innings of work...Carp is 4 for 5 over the last two games.
