Walbert Urena settles for no-decision Friday
by David Leisering | Angels Correspondent | Fri, May 29th 11:45pm EDT
Walbert Urena allowed one run on five hits over six innings on Friday as the Rays defeated the Angels, 8-5.
Fantasy Impact:
Urena walked three and struck out five over his six innings and left with a 2-1 lead. But, the Angels' bullpen imploded in the seventh as the Rays scored seven times to erase Urena's chance at a victory. The righthander threw 92 pitches - 60 for strikes - and the only run he allowed was a leadoff home run by Yandy Diaz in the bottom of the first. Urena has been excellent this month and has essentially come out of nowhere to be a reliable option in the Angels' rotation. After posting a career ERA of 4.67 across 362.2 minor league innings, Urena is 2-4 but has a 2.44 ERA in 10 appearances (eight starts) with the Angels this season. He has been even better in May, going 2-1 with a 1.64 ERA in six starts and has allowed two runs or fewer in each of his outings this month. He's scheduled for a home start against the Rockies on Wednesday in his next time out.
