NEW YORK -- The call from his 19-year-old son brought Carlos Alberto Urias to his knees.
First in tears and then in prayer.
This was "The Call" he had been waiting for since his son, Julio Urias, was 5-years old, playing with kids much older than him.
"I did. I did," Carlos said in Spanish. "I was at work and doubled over crying when he told me the Dodgers called him up. I could not believe it. He worked so hard to get there. Thanks to God, he did it."
The Dodgers called up teenage pitching phenom Urias on Thursday morning and the young pitcher immediately called his parents back home in Culiacan, Mexico, to tell them that he would be pitching Friday night against the Mets at Citi Field.
