Walbert Urena posts another solid start in win over Texas
by David Leisering | Angels Correspondent | Sun, May 24th 8:55am EDT
Walbert Urena allowed one run on five hits, walked three, and struck out six in five solid innings on Saturday, helping the Angels to a 5-2 win over the Rangers.
Fantasy Impact:
Urena picked up his second victory of the season and has now allowed two earned runs or fewer in six of his seven starts this season. His six strikeouts were two shy of his career-high of eight he had back on April 19. Urena is having a very good, under-the-radar month of May, pitching to a 1.67 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP in five starts with a 23:12 K:BB ratio in 27 innings. While he's not a huge strikeout arm and can be a little erratic at times (36:22 K:BB ratio in 38.1 innings), Urena should be owned in far more leagues than he is at the moment. If he's available in your league, you may want to grab him before it's too late. He does, however, have a tough road matchup against the Rays on Friday in his next scheduled start.
