The Akron Aeros were swept by the Binghamton Mets in their three game series at Canal Park on Sunday. Aeros starting pitcher Paolo Espino started the game, allowing only three hits through the first four innings. The Aeros offense recorded nine hits but was only able to send one player across the plate. The Aeros losing streak has now reached five games, which is tied for the longest of the 2010 season.

The B-Mets got on the board in the top of the first inning when Kirk Nieuwenhuis reached base on a throwing error by Carlos Rivero, his third error of the season. Nieuwenhuis stole second base before Luis Hernandez singled to centerfield scoring Nieuwenhuis. The B-Mets got back on the board in the second inning when Hector Pellot walked and moved around the bases on two wild pitches by Espino. The Aeros only time crossing the plate came in the fifth inning when OF Tim Fedroff connected with his first home run of the season, which sailed into the bleachers in right-field. The Mets were silenced until the eighth inning when they scored three more times, making the score 6-1.
