Chihuahuas' Urias stays hot with three hits

Luis Urías has been consistent in his inconsistency this year, but it hasn't stopped him from putting together a strong debut season in the Pacific Coast League.
The fourth-ranked Padres prospect went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles, a walk and two runs scored on Tuesday as Triple-A El Paso defeated Salt Lake, 6-3, at Smith's Ballpark. It was his ninth game this season with at least three hits.

Urias got going with a one-out double to center field in the opening inning. MLB.com's No. 22 overall prospect singled to center in the third and scored on a double by Ty France to give El Paso a 3-0 lead. He led off the fifth with a ground-rule double to left-center but was doubled off second when Padres No. 3 prospect Francisco Mejia lined to shortstop.
The Mexico native walked and scored on a wild pitch in the seventh before striking out in the eighth.

The big night continued a strong month for Urias, who's raised his average 10 points in August, thanks to a .310/.348/.500 slash line in 12 games. That comes on the heels of a July in which he batted .244 and struck out 24 times in 20 games. It's been a pattern for the middle infielder, who's alternated good and bad months since opening the year with a .307 average in April. He followed that by hitting .239 in May and .280 in June.
Overall, Urias is batting .275 /.380/.414 with 37 extra-base hits and 71 runs scored in 108 games for El Paso, where appeared in three contests as a 19-year-old in July 2016.
