R-Phils return home with authority Carlos Carrasco equaled
season highs in innings (7.0) and strikeouts (7) to earn Monday's
victory.
By Steve Degler
Reading, PA -- After being quieted for three innings, the Reading Phillies offense exploded in the fourth and fifth innings in an 11-0 rout of the Binghamton Mets Monday night at FirstEnergy Stadium.
B-Mets lefty Jonathon Niese kept the Phillies in check over the first three frames, allowing only a first-inning walk to
Jason Donald. After Donald was caught stealing, Niese retired the next seven hitters.
R-Phils starter Carlos Carrasco found his road much tougher to navigate. Carrasco worked out of a two-on, no-out jam in the second and stranded the bases loaded in the third.
The Reading bats got things started in quiet fashion in the fourth as Javon Moran led off with a bunt single. Niese (2-3) fell behind Donald 3-1 and the Phillies' shortstop deposited the next pitch over the
Coors Light Deck in left for his first Double-A home run. Lou Marson (six-game hit streak, 19-game on-base streak) then doubled. After
Neil Sellers singled, Mike Eylward and
Gookie Dawkins delivered RBI singles to make it 4-0.
The Phillies (15-15) were right back at it in the fifth. Moran drew a one-out walk and stole second. He scored on Donald's double to center to push the lead to 5-0.
Greg Golson followed with another two-base hit to plate Donald. An RBI single by Sellers extended the margin to 7-0 and Eylward followed with a two-run homer, his first, to cap a five-run inning.
Carrasco (3-2) worked the first seven innings to equal his longest outing of the season. He allowed two hits and two walks and tied his season-high with seven strikeouts.
The Phillies added two more runs in the eighth on three walks and two run-scoring grounders.
The Mets (11-20) have dropped three straight games and nine of their last 11.
Donald and Eylward each was 2-for-3 with two runs scored and three RBI. Sellers went 2-for-3 with three runs and an RBI.
