Win streak snapped

OK, the Sea Dogs have trouble with Binghamton. We get it now. No need to keep proving it, as with last night's 8-1 Mets victory, which snapped Portland's four game winning streak.

Josh Stevens allowed all eight runs in six innings pitched. The Two Davids, Wright and Bacani, each had three hits and two RBI for the Mets. (A third David, David Detienne, also chipped in with a hit and an RBI). Sean McGowan's home run accounted for Portland's scoring. The Sea Dogs are now 2-6 vs. the Mets.

Reliever Colin Young was put on the DL, and Ryan Larson was called up from Sarasota to replace him. Young has two saves and a 5.74 ERA in 11 games thus far for the Sea Dogs. Larson's prior promotion didn't go too well: 4 runs (3 earned) in 1 2/3 IP, for a 16.20 ERA. Larson has, however, posted a 2-0 record with a 1.77 ERA and one save in 20+ IP for Sarasota.
