The Cardinals scored off Miami Marlins starter José Ureña in each of the first two innings on their way to a 4-3 victory. Ureña struck out three and didn’t walk any batters, but surrendered four hits in 2 1/3 innings of work. This performance, plus his first appearance last week, have yielded a 2.250 WHIP over his first four innings of work. Thankfully, I don’t think that rate of walks and hits is sustainable.
The loss for the Marlins was their fourth-in-a-row, and puts them at 2-6 for the spring. Of course, the standings don’t count at all this time of the season.
