In the previous three games, Urías has showcased his skills both on the field and at the plate. Defensively, he has maintained a perfect fielding percentage of 1.0, displaying his reliability and consistency as an infielder. But it's his offensive prowess that truly sets him apart.


During these three games, Urías has displayed an impressive batting average of .500, with a slugging percentage of .500 and an on-base percentage of .500 as well. His ability to consistently get on base and make solid contact with the ball has made him a key contributor to the Orioles' offensive success.

One standout performance from Urías came in the game against the Los Angeles Angels. Despite the Orioles ultimately falling short in that game, Urías stood out with a batting average of .600, reaching base in 60 percent of his plate appearances. He recorded 2 hits in 5 at-bats and showcased his ability to handle pressure situations.


But Urías is not alone in his exceptional performance. The Orioles have seen strong contributions from other players as well. Ryan O'Hearn has displayed power at the plate with a slugging percentage of .500 and an OPS (on-base plus slugging) of 0.75 over the past three games.

On the pitching side, Jacob Webb has been a reliable force out of the bullpen for the Orioles. With an ERA (earned run average) of 0.00 and a WHIP (walks plus hits per inning pitched) of 1.0, Webb has proven to be a valuable asset in shutting down opposing hitters.


As for the Athletics, Lucas Erceg has been a standout performer for the team. With a fielding percentage of 1.0 and an impressive batting average of .333, Erceg has made his presence known on both sides of the game. His contributions have been crucial to the Athletics' success.


Looking ahead to the upcoming game, both teams will be looking to capitalize on their recent momentum. The Orioles will rely on Urías and their other top performers to lead them to victory, while the Athletics will look to players like Erceg to make an impact.
