At some point in the future — likely the near future — the Twins will get their first real looks at starting pitchers Mick Abel and Taj Bradley. The results have been mixed, and were anything but pretty on Thursday when José Ureña — who threw 5 2/3 scoreless innings and allowed just two runs against the Detroit Tigers last weekend — was rocked on Thursday in the Twins' 8-3 loss to the Athletics. “I couldn't get us out,” Ureña said. The Athletics jumped all over Ureña, scoring six runs in the second inning, all with two out.
