(Manchester, NH)-Anthony Gose tripled to lead off the fifth inning, and scored on a ground out by Moises Sierra, but the Fisher Cats saw a five-game win streak snapped in an 8-1 loss to Binghamton on Saturday at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium.

The Fisher Cats (16-10) were already down 5-0 by the time Gose scored. New Hampshire had plenty of early opportunities to score runs, stranding seven runners on base in their first four at bats against Mets starter Brad Holt. Holt left after four innings, allowing two hits, walking five and striking out four.

The Mets (10-15) took a 1-0 lead in the top of the fourth inning when Brahiam Maldanado homered off losing pitcher Zach Stewart (2-2).

Binghamton sent eight to the plate in the top of the fifth inning. Jordany Valdespin tripled and scored on a single by Josh Satin to make it 2-0. Maldanado (2-for-4, 2 HR, 2 RBI, 3 R) reached on a fielders choice and stole second and third. Eric Campbell walked and Alan Dykstra singled to make it 3-0. Carlos Guzman delivered a two-run double to make it 5-0.

Stewart (2-2) worked the first five innings, allowing ten hits and five runs. He walked two and struck out two in losing for the first time since Opening Night, April 7.

The Mets scored three more runs in the top of the seventh inning against reliever Clint Everts, hitting two home runs. Maldanado's second of the game put the Mets up 6-1. After Campbell walked, Dykstra homered.

Michael Powers (1-0) worked 4.2 innings in relief, allowing four hits and one run for the Mets to earn his first win.
