Julio Urías' fourth pitching appearance in 12 days, a strenuous schedule the Dodgers voluntarily subjected him to, was a flop. The Dodgers must win three straight games for a chance to win back-to-back titles for the first time. Story by jorgecastillo
The Dodgers’ comeback in NLCS Game 3 was supposed to give them the momentum they needed to win the series. Instead, the Braves dominated Game 4.The Braves had already clubbed three solo home runs off Urías when Pederson, a former Dodger, reached out and poked a 1-2 pitch off balanced. A catch would’ve ended the inning.
The Dodgers will replace him on the roster with a position player Thursday. Roberts named Billy McKinney, Zach McKinstry and Andy Burns as candidates.Urías took the mound Wednesday three days after being used out of the bullpen in Game 2 on Sunday. He pitched on two days’ rest that night in Atlanta. He was inserted in the eighth inning to protect a two-run lead and watched it evaporate. An inning later, Eddie Rosario’s walk-off single delivered the Braves a win.
Urías yielded five runs and eight hits over five innings. He threw 92 pitches and gave up three home runs for the second time in his career. The first time was in June 2016 in his second major league outing. He was 19. On the other side, the Braves scheduled a bullpen game Wednesday from the outset. They trust three pitchers on their roster to assume a conventional starter’s workload. Max Fried tossed six innings in Game 1. Ian Anderson lasted three innings in Game 2. Charlie Morton, after a bumpy first inning, survived five innings in Game 3.
