Urena (4-6) came within one out of a shutout Sunday, scattering four hits and striking out four over 8.2 scoreless innings in a 3-0 win over the Dodgers.
A.J. Ramos came on to record the final out after Josh Reddick singled and Corey Seaher coming to the plate, but Urena's pitch count (108) was also a factor in manager Don Mattingly's decision. The 25-year-old right-hander now has three quality starts in his last five outings, although Sunday's gem was by far the best of the bunch. However, his 20:6 K:BB in 31.1 innings over that stretch suggests he's been more lucky than good. His next start is scheduled for Saturday in Philadelphia.
