Diaz has worked to a 7.41 ERA in seven road starts. He allowed two runs in two innings against Binghamton in the first go-round, with rain cutting the outing short.

RISP: The B-Mets went hitless in 10 at-bats Sunday with men in scoring position. Binghamton is now batting .152 (5-33) with runners in scoring position over their last four games.

AT STAKE: A win Monday would give Binghamton their first series win in five tries. The B-Mets have gone 0-3-1 in their past four series, since sweeping Portland at Hadlock Field, June 16-18. A win for the Sea Dogs would snap an 11 series losing streak. Portland has not win or split a series since May 26-28, when they took two of three from the B-Mets at NYSEG Stadium.

It's the second time Binghamton has racked up double-digit K's in back-to-back games this season, and the first since May 1-2. The 11 strikeouts the B-Mets pitching staff had Saturday night matched a season-high.
