Jeff Stevens posted two perfect innings of relief while Erik Turgeon allowed three runs on six hits in two frames. Chris Petrinicollected his first Double-A save.

STARTING PITCHING MATCHUP: LHP Darin Gorski (5-4, 4.11) makes his 13th start of the season and 14th overall appearances. The southpaw earned the win in his last start, tossing six shutout innings against the Erie SeaWolves on June 22. It was the fourth time this season Gorski has thrown six shutout innings or more. He allowed five hits and struck out four. Selected in the seventh round of the 2009 draft, Gorski is in his first season with the B-Mets.

RHP Bobby Bundy (2-9, 4.91) takes the mound for his 15th start and first against the B-Mets. The Oklahoma native has gone winless in his last seven starts and is suffering through his second four-game losing streak of the year. He lost his most recent start against the Reading Phillies on June 23. The righty allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits over 4.2 innings. His last win came against the Altoona Curve on May 9. Selected in the eighth round of the 2008 draft out of Sperry HS in Skiatook, Oklahoma, Bundy spent the final month of last season with Bowie. He is the older brother of Orioles top prospect pitcher Dylan Bundy.

FEELS LIKE A LONG TIME: Binghamton's current four-game losing streak at home is their longest this season. Their last win at NYSEG Stadium came nearly two weeks ago, a 4-3 victory over the Altoona Curve on June 15.

HITS PILING UP: Over the last six games, the B-Mets pitching staff has surrendered a total of 71 hits. Opponents are hitting .279 against the B-Mets in the month of June. The B-Mets pitching staff has compiled a 4.49 ERA in the month, fourth-highest in the Eastern League.

RUNNING UP AGAINST THE WRONG TEAM: Bowie's win last night was their fourth in a row, raising their record to 16-8 in June, the best mark in the Eastern League. The Baysox are tied with the Harrisburg Senators for the highest batting average in June, hitting at .282.

SOMETHING ABOUT JUNE 27: B-Mets reliever Jeff Stevens made his home B-Mets debut last night with two scoreless innings of relief. A former Cleveland Indians farmhand, Stevens made his NYSEG Stadium debut as a member of the Akron Aeros on June 27, 2007 with two scoreless innings of relief. In five career appearances in NYSEG Stadium, Stevens has not allowed a run over 6.2 innings. Stevens was transferred to the B-Mets from Buffalo on June 18.

TURNING IT AROUND: After going 0-3 with a 7.58 ERA over four appearances (three starts) in May, B-Mets starter Darin Gorski has righted the ship in June. The lefty has compiled a 3-1 record and amassed a 3.20 ERA in four starts. He has walked just 3 in 25.1 innings of work.

BOWIE BEATING B-METS: The Baysox have won four straight games against the B-Mets dating back to last season. Bowie has won six of their last seven meetings against the B-Mets.

NEXT GAME PREVIEW: The B-Mets complete their four-game set against the Baysox tomorrow night at 7:05 PM, a rare Friday night series finale. RHP Greg Peavey gets the nod for Binghamton against RHP Zack Clark.
