The Los Angeles Dodgers have been very boom or bust all season long. On Friday, it was bust.
The Dodgers were blown out by the Cubs at Wrigley Field in game two of a four-game series, getting shut out in pretty embarrassing fashion. The Dodgers’ bats went absolutely silent (again), while the pitching got roughed up.
Julio Urias was the starter, and had by far the worst outing of his young season. Urias lasted just 3.1 innings, allowing 7 hits, 5 earned runs and 2 walks while striking out 4. He hadn’t allowed more than two earned runs in any game this season, and raised his ERA to 3.
