WASHINGTON -- Fernando Tatis Jr. at short, Luis Urias at second. That's the way the San Diego Padres hope to line 'em up one day at Petco Park, and that's the alignment the World Team utilized up the middle for the start of the SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game on Sunday at Nationals Park.
The results were mixed, but the experience for both young players was special. Tatis played the entirety of the 10-6 loss to the U.S. squad, contributing a pair of hits, a stolen base and a run scored. Urias, meanwhile, went 0-for-2 and had the misfortune of being hit between the left elbow and forearm by a 100.
