Walbert Ureña allowed just one run and one hit over 5 2/3 innings Thursday in a tough loss to the Mariners.

Ureña gave up a leadoff double to JP Crawford in the sixth and then walked three of the remaining five hitters he faced to force in a run. Before that, he walked just one through five, though he did hit two batters. He struck out six. Ureña has shown a lot of promise at age 22, but until the Angels get their act together, he doesn’t seem like a great use of a spot in shallow leagues. That said, he’s a fair play next week in a favorable matchup in Texas against the Rangers.
