How the game turned

Ureña (4-4) loaded the bases in the third but struck out Joey Loperfido to escape. Houston put runners on in the first, second, and fifth but could not score until the seventh.

Pitching and matchup notes

Ureña allowed three hits and five walks but zero runs over five innings. He struck out seven in a 107-pitch effort. Kai-Wei Teng (3-5) took the loss.

AthX Engine fantasy angle

AthX Engine rewards big innings even when the starter's pitching FP is modest. Meckler and Adell drove the team total while Ureña escaped jams, separate from dynamic pricing.
