LAST GAME: The Trenton Thunder offense erupted for 16 hits, including nine in their eight-run eighth inning, to defeat the Binghamton Mets 10-1 last night. Mark Cohoon put up seven strong innings before allowing five straight hits to start the eighth. The southpaw surrendered a pair of two-run home runs in the frame to Corban Joseph and Luke Murton. Erik Turgeon entered and allowed three more runs. The B-Mets scored their only run on an RBI double from Juan Lagares in the eighth inning. Shaeffer Hall kept the B-Mets in check over 6.2 scoreless innings to collect his third win and snap a three-game losing streak.

STARTING PITCHING MATCHUP: RHP Collin McHugh (4-2, 2.40) makes his team-leading eighth start of the season. The righty comes off a no-decision against the New Britain Rock Cats in his previous start on May 9. He allowed just one run on six hits and struck out five over seven innings. McHugh’s only blemish was a solo home run allowed to Wilkin Ramirez. The Atlanta native has held opponents to a .205 batting average and has the tenth-best ERA in the Eastern League. McHugh, an 18th round draft pick by the Mets in 2008, was the B-Mets
Pitcher of the Year last year after going 8-2 with a 2.89 ERA over 16 starts.

RHP Brett Marshall (4-1, 3.27) takes the mound for his eighth start of the season. He collected the win in his last start, tossing six shutout innings against the Portland Sea Dogs on May 10. The righty allowed just two hits and struck out four. The Texas native is on a three-game winning streak and has not lost since April 12. Selected in the sixth round of the 2008 draft by the Yankees out of Ross S. Sterling HS in Baytown, Texas, Marshall is in his fifth year of pro ball and first at Double-A. He went 9-7 with a 3.78 ERA in a career-high 26 starts with the Tampa Yankees (High-A) last season.
