Walbert Urena Dominates Two Tough Lineups | Los Angeles Angels News

Walbert Urena is rewriting the script for Angels pitching this week, shutting down two of baseball’s toughest lineups with back-to-back masterclasses. Against the Yankees, he went seven innings, one run, eight strikeouts. Then, in a showdown against Pirates ace Paul Skenes, he outlasted him for the first time in his career, throwing eight innings and allowing just one run — while racking up a career-high 16 ground ball outs. His heavy sinker and improved changeup are forcing weak contact, and over 15 innings total, he’s surrendered only two runs with 12 Ks and one walk. This isn’t just solid — it’s dominant. Urena is emerging as a cornerstone of the Angels’ future rotation and a serious Rookie of the Year contender. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
