Reds at Dodgers, 7:10 PM PDT, TV: BS Ohio, MLBN (out-of-market only), SPNLA
The Dodgers hand the ball to LHP Julío Urías (0-1, 13.50 ERA) had what Jack Harris of the LA Times termed “a troubling season debut. He suffered a drop in velocity from last season. He failed to strike out a single batter. And he gave up six runs (three earned) in two-plus innings.” Well, yeah, I guess those outcomes qualify as troubling. We’ll see how he does this evening. His opponent will be RHP Hunter Greene (1-0, 5.40 ERA), who won his first start, allowing the Braves four hits and three runs in five innings while striking out seven.
