After beating the Arizona Diamondbacks, the outstanding note of the day was given the Culichi, who has established himself at the top of the pitchers with the most victories so far this season, which is just a few days from the end, so he is about to be crowned the pitcher with the most conquests in 2021.

After pitching five innings, striking out three and directing the shutout of the Dodgers, Uriah got his victory number 19, making him the leader in this department with three wins ahead of his following pursuers, Gerrit cole and Adam wainwright, of the Yankees from New York and Cardinals of San Luis, respectively.

After reaching this impressive figure, the Sinaloan pitcher is virtually recognized as the pitcher with the most victories of the season and, barring one surprise, he will become the first Mexican to achieve this distinction.

Should he continue his winning streak against Milwaukee and add the twentieth triumph of the campaign, Urías could not reach the 21 triumphs of Valenzuela in 1986 with the Dodgers, nor the 21 of Loaiza in 2003 with White socks, the best records that a Mexican has in the Big leagues.
