RT @MLB: José Urquidy tossed 6 superb innings out of the 'pen 😤 https://t.co/QIQ9TCGDVt Via @whitesox on X

What happened: Jose Urquidy delivered a dominant long-relief appearance, firing six scoreless innings out of the bullpen. The performance helped complete a shutout victory to conclude the Crosstown Classic.

Why it matters: Covering six frames in relief is a rarity that provides immense value to a pitching staff. His ability to suppress runs while eating innings preserved the rest of the Chicago White Sox bullpen.

By the numbers: Urquidy limited the Chicago Cubs to just two hits over his six innings of work, striking out eight batters and issuing zero walks.

What to watch: The extended workload will likely require several days of rest before he is available to pitch again.
