Picks up pace in win Urquidy (2-2) won his second straight start Saturday, allowing four hits and one walk over seven scoreless innings against the Rays.
Impact Urquidy was efficient and in control, dominating the Rays and working from ahead in the count. He threw 68 strikes among his 91 pitches, and Tampa hitters swung and missed 12 times. At the behest of pitching Brent Strom, Urquidy hurried his tempo between pitches and it produced desired results, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports. "I'm trying to get a good rhythm with my body," Urquidy said. "I'm trying to not lose my focus and not lose the strike zone. To get that I have to be a little quicker with my movements." The Rays averaged an exit velocity of just 87.6 mph on 20 balls in play against Urquidy, who never threw more than 16 pitches in an inning. He's next slated to pitch at home against the Blue Jays.

Picks up first win Urquidy (1-2) earned the win Monday after holding the Mariners to two runs on five hits and no walks while striking out a pair of batters across six innings.
Impact All of Urquidy's damage came from a pair of solo home runs off the bats of Kyle Lewis and Kyle Seager. The right-hander showed strong command by not issuing any free passes for the second time this season while throwing 67 of his 96 pitches for strikes. The 25-year-old will carry 4.67 ERA and 1.26 WHIP into Saturday's matchup at Tampa Bay.

Strikes out seven Friday Urquidy pitched 5.2 innings against Seattle on Friday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out seven. He did not factor in the decision.
Impact Urquidy began the contest with five scoreless innings before allowing a two-run double to Kyle Seager in the sixth. That was the final pitch of the game for the right-hander, and he consequently just missed out on his first quality start of the campaign. Urquidy struck out seven for the second straight contest and now has an impressive 19:4 K:BB over 16 innings this season. His next start will be at Colorado on Wednesday.

Gives up four runs in loss Urquidy (0-1) gave up four runs on seven hits while fanning seven across six innings Saturday against the Athletics. He was tagged with the loss.
Impact Urquidy tossed more than 90 pitches for the second start in a row, but he was far more efficient in this one -- he went six complete innings but that wasn't enough to outduel Frankie Montas, who allowed just one run through six frames. This was a step in the right direction for the 25-year-old compared to his season debut, though, and he will look to earn his first win of the season in his next start, scheduled for April 16 at Seattle.

Doesn't last long enough for win Urquidy threw 4.1 innings Sunday against Oakland, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out five.
Impact Urquidy pitched well enough in his season debut, though his inefficiency represents a potential concern. Unlike many starters who were pulled before being eligible to earn a win in their first outing of the season, Urquidy handled a full workload, throwing 101 pitches, but that still wasn't enough for him to complete the fifth inning. Most of his trouble came early, as he faced seven batters in the first inning before facing just 10 over the next three frames. Urquidy's next outing should come Saturday, also against the Athletics.
