Blue Jays vs Mariners: Today's Lineup - Series Finale Preview

Jose Urena is on the bump versus Mariners starter Bryce Miller. First pitch is at 4:10 PM ET on Sportsnet and Root Sports North West. Listen on the Sportsnet App, Sportsnet 590 and Seattle Sports 710 AM Radio.

Jose Urena signed with the Blue Jays a week ago and made a start for the club a few days later in Anaheim. Urena gave the Blue Jays pro stuff in his last outing against the Angels.

He left a sinker over the heart of the plate for Taylor Ward in the bottom of the first inning, setting him up for a game-tying two-run homer. But after that, Urena settled in.

Schneider mentioned pregame that the plan was for Urena to throw anywhere from 75-80 pitches and that he would consider it a good day if the righty managed to pitch into the fifth inning -- that's exactly what Urena did.

He only allowed two hits the rest of the way after giving up the homer in the first, finishing his Blue Jays debut with two earned runs allowed on four hits with two strikeouts over 4 1/3 frames.

By the time he was pulled in the bottom of the fifth, Urena was at a season-high 73 pitches, right around Schneider's expected pitch count for him. Even if Urena himself was hoping to pitch a little deeper into the game.

Bryce Miller gets the ball this afternoon for the Mariners. Miller allowed four runs on seven hits and struck out one without walking a batter in a no-decision versus the Athletics in his last outing.

Miller battled a back issue in his previous start, but he didn't appear to be limited Monday, throwing 63 of 94 pitches for strikes.

While he found the zone just fine, he wasn't fooling the Athletics' hitters much. This was Miller's shortest start of the season by innings pitched, and it's the third time he's allowed at least four runs.

He's at a mediocre 4.15 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 32:19 K:BB over 34.2 innings across seven starts, but this was his first start of the season in which he avoided walking a batter.
