Springfield 3, Binghamton 2

JUPITER, FL. – In their second-to-last Spring Training game, the Binghamton Mets fell to the Springfield Cardinals, the Double-A affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals, by a 3-2 score. 

The B-Mets wrap up their exhibition schedule tomorrow.

 Last year’s B-Mets’ bullpen was well represented. Brad Holt, the right-hander who converted from starter to reliever, tossed a scoreless inning with three strikeouts and a walk. 

Erik Turgeon followed suit with a blank frame of his own. 

Jeff Kaplan allowed one unearned run in his time on the mound. 

 Newly-acquired utility man Josh Rodriguez went 1-for-2 and scored a run. The top pick in the 2010 Rule 5 Draft signed a minor league deal with the Mets yesterday. Last year, he played seven games with the Pittsburgh Pirates, but spent most of the seasonwith the Altoona Curve, their Double-A affiliate. 

 The B-Mets (3-6) host the Jacksonville Suns tomorrow in their final game of SpringTraining. Their game against the Springfield Cardinals originally scheduled for Sunday has been scrapped.
