Ureña’s Masterclass Ends Losing Streak | MLB News

Walbert Ureña, the Angels’ 22-year-old rookie pitcher, delivered a dominant performance against the Yankees, tossing seven innings, striking out eight, and allowing just one run in a 10-1 victory that snapped a seven-game losing streak. With a stellar 2.85 ERA and 120 strikeouts in 123 innings, he’s now 9-9 on the season and leading the AL in ERA among qualified rookies — and Rookie of the Year buzz is mounting. His arsenal, including a 101 mph sinker and effective changeup, kept hitters off balance, while his poise after an early jam showcased his maturity. Ureña’s breakout game was a key factor in the Angels’ starting rotation being named MLB’s best in August, posting a remarkable 2.51 ERA — their strongest monthly showing since 1982.
