The Giants came into town with one of the best offenses in baseball. In the first matchup of the 2022 season, the Dodgers’ pitching came to play. That started with Julio Urias, who got his fifth start of the year after pitching well in his past three. So aside from a rough start in Colorado, Julio has been lights out.
But despite his run of success, the Dodgers didn’t trust him for long. Urias pitched into the 6th inning but was only at 65 pitches when Dave Roberts made the move. He had eclipsed 80 pitches in his last start and was at 75 in his start prior to that.
