Minor League Player of the Day – Miguel Urena (Dominican) - 5 IP, 3 hits, 0 runs, 6 K. The 6'8" Urena has been mentioned quite a few times in this year's minor league reports, and he picked a good afternoon to throw 5 shutout innings to win this award on a very quiet day. While the big righty hasn't necessarily been overpowering batters as he's struck out just 25 batters over 40 innings, he has limited the hits and runs against him as shown by his .197 batting average against and his 1.58 ERA.
