Urena allowed two earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out two across seven innings Thursday against the Pirates. He did not factor into the decision.
It looked like it would be a hard day for Urena after he surrendered two runs in the opening frame. However, he allowed only three baserunners across the next six frames, resulting in his second consecutive seven-inning effort. Urena has a 4.57 ERA and 19:12 K:BB through four starts this season and is projected to draw his next start Tuesday at the White Sox.
