Tuesday marked the start of the Los Angeles Dodgers facing a National League West opponent in 16 of their next 18 games, and it began with a 6-3 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
On a night that saw the Dodgers squander several opportunities with runners on base, Julio Urias righted the ship with improved tempo. He bounced back from a string of inconsistent outings to hold the Diamondbacks to just one run.
Through six starts this season, he entered with a 10.50 ERA in the first inning and allowed opponents to .357/.438/.679. Urias retired the side in order in the opening frame for the first time.
