The 22-year-old right-hander, ranked as the club's number 18 prospect, was cruising through five scoreless frames, when Bo Bichette ripped a first-pitch fastball right into his right leg at over 100mph. That line turned into an infield single, and Urina hit the dirt hard. He been lights out early, no hits through three innings, and facing the minimum thanks to a double play. By the time he got hurt, he'd scatter just two hits, three walks, and four strikeouts over five plus innings.

Urina got back up, even through a few warm-ups, but the pain was too much, so he walked off under his own power. Tough break for a kid who's been building steam. Veteran left the Brent Souter, came in to replace him, but the inherited runner scored
