Urena (2-2) coughed up six runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three over five-plus innings Tuesday. Despite the rough outing, he still earned an 11-9 victory over the A's.
The Marlins handed Urena a 7-1 lead heading into the bottom of the third inning, but the 25-year-old very nearly gave it all back. It was his first bad outing since moving into the rotation four starts ago, but Urena's 20:11 K:BB in 38 innings and 5.04 FIP suggest it may not be the last. He'll next take the mound Monday at home against the Phillies.
