José Urquidy Delivers Strong Relief Outing For Phillies

Recently claimed off waivers by the Philadelphia Phillies from the Chicago White Sox, right-handed pitcher José Urquidy gave the team crucial length against the New York Mets. Entering in the first inning with bases loaded, Urquidy tossed 4.2 scoreless frames, allowing five hits, striking out six, and issuing no walks while throwing 47 of 64 pitches for strikes. The deceptive veteran provided a major boost to Philadelphia's depleted rotation depth down the stretch.
