He faces Hartford for the second straight start.

UNBELIEVABLE URENA: Jhoan Urena became the first Binghamton player to hit three home runs in a game since Daniel Murphy did it in May 2008. His 9 RBI is a franchise record, passing Jorga Toca's 8 RBI game for the B-Mets in 1999.

GRAND STYLE: According to Baseball Reference, a player has hit two grand slams in a game only 13 times in the Major Leagues. Bill Mueller is the only player to have hit one from each side of the plate, a feat Urena achieved on Monday.
