Urias allowed just two runs with seven strikeouts and one walk in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers.
The much-talked-about rookie enjoyed the best start of his young career, as he made it past the fifth inning for the first time and notched seven strikeouts for the second consecutive outing. Urias could have enjoyed even better results, but a Brandon Belt home run, which accounted for all of the damage against him, occurred as his pitch count neared its limit and chased him from the game. Urias has certainly shown glimpses of his immense potential, with an 11.1 K/9 rate compared to just three walks over his last three outings, and he seems to be settling in now that he is expected to receive several more starts before any further decisions are made regarding his usage for the remainder of the year. He will face the first favorable matchup of his young career next time out, when he faces the Brewers at home on Thursday.
