LAST TIME OUT: The B-Mets put up six runs in the seventh inning and recorded a season-high 19 hits in a 13-4 drubbing of the Altoona Curve, Wednesday night at Peoples Natural Gas Field. Jayce Boyd went 4-for-5 with two RBI and a triple, Jose Reyes was 1-for-4 with two RBI and his first hit since rejoining the Mets Organization and MLB rehabber Juan Lagares went 2-for-6 with a triple and an RBI. It was Binghamton's fifth win in its past six games.

BINGHAMTON STARTER: RHP Casey Delgado makes the start for the B-Mets, his first against New Hampshire and his second ever against a Blue Jays affiliate. Delgado made his 2016 debut against Dunedin (High-A) while pitching for St. Lucie. He went six shutout innings with two hits against and struck out five in a 1-0 Mets win. Delgado last pitched on Saturday against Richmond and took a no-decision after striking out six in six innings of two-run ball. The B-Mets won the game, 4-3.

NEW HAMPSHIRE STARTER: RHP Casey Lawrence starts for the Fisher Cats on the heels of a tough-luck loss. In his last appearance on Saturday, Lawrence allowed three unearned runs and struck out five in six innings as New Hampshire was shut out by Harrisburg, 4-0. He first appeared with the Fisher Cats in 2012 and is making his 70th career Double-A appearance and his 65th Double-A start.

SEVENTH HEAVEN: Binghamton put up six runs on six base hits in the seventh inning on Wednesday, the second most runs it has scored in an inning and tied for the most hits. The B-Mets set season-highs in triples (2), extra-base hits (8) and tied for the most doubles (6) in a single game. 13 runs were also tied for the most they had scored in a game and 19 hits also set a new season-high.

FEEL LIKE BUSTIN LOOSE: Jayce Boyd went 4-for-5 on Wednesday, the sixth time a B-Met has recorded four hits in a game this season. Boyd raised his batting average from .191 to .222 in the game.

THE OTHER GUYS: New Hampshire's strength has been its pitching staff. The 3.41 ERA and 1.29 WHIP are third lowest in the league and the 226 walks are the second fewest.

HOT START: Amed Rosario has recorded hits in all seven of his games since joining the B-Mets from St. Lucie (High-A). Rosario has started six games at shortstop and the B-Mets have gone 5-1. He is batting .400 (10-25) with four doubles, seven RBI, a triple, five runs and a stolen base.

STREAKING: Colton Plaia and L.J. Mazzilli each extended their hitting streaks to eight games during Wednesday's win in Altoona. The B-Mets have four players with active hitting streaks of at least five games (Amed Rosario - 7, Xorge Carrillo - 5).

BEEN AWHILE: After playing five of their first 21 games against the Fisher Cats, the B-Mets see their division rival for the first time in 59 days today.

NEXT GAME PREVIEW: The first of back-to-back doubleheaders is scheduled for 5:35 PM on Friday. RHP Tyler Pill will start game one against RHP Taylor Cole for the Fisher Cats.
