UNDATED (AP) — Julio Urias looked very good on the mound Sunday afternoon, and he was even better at the plate.
The Los Angeles Dodgers’ starter is 7-1 after tossing six innings and driving in three runs in an 11-5 pounding of the Giants. Urías didn’t allow a baserunner until Mike Tauchman’s one-out infield single in the sixth, two batters before Austin Slater homered to end a shutout bid. Urias also supplied a two-run double and an RBI single while fanning 10 Giants.
Gavin Lux hit a grand slam as the Dodgers won their eighth in a row and completed a sweep of the Giants in San Francisco.
