Urias allowed just one run on three hits and a walk with seven strikeouts over four innings in a no-decision Tuesday against the Rockies.
The 19-year-old Urias is still being handled with kid gloves for somewhat obvious reasons -- he threw just 86 pitches and was cruising before his exit. Still, even though Urias wasn't eligible for the win, it was great to see his nastiness translate into results for the first time in his three major league starts. He induced an awesome 14 swinging strikes and showed why the hype train behind him has been so strong. Urias's grip on a rotation spot was tenuous heading into Tuesday's game, and he may have bought himself some more major league time as a result of this strong showing.
